The Monkees — Long Way Home

The other night, I took the long way home I passed the old schoolyard It’s funny how you keep it all inside Dreams they do die hard I closed my eyes, and I could see your face Somewhere back in time One summer night a million miles ago Back when you were mine Say yes, say no, say that I’m grabbin’ at shadows But don’t carve the words in stone I know it’s late, but can’t you see I was only Taking the long way home? Sometimes it’s easy to get all wrapped up In trying to be free And all those dreams I sailed away to find Were right in front of me Say yes, say no, say that I’m grabbin’ at shadows But don’t carve the words in stone One of these days, you’re gonna see I was only Taking the long way home Although the letters stopped many years ago I’ll show you even time could not Keep this heart from letting go The other night, I took the long way home I passed the old schoolyard It’s funny how you keep it all inside Dreams they do die hard Say yes, say no, say that I’m grabbin’ at shadows But don’t leave me here all alone One of these days, you’re gonna see I was only Taking the long way home Say yes, say no But don’t leave me here all alone One of these days, you’re gonna see I was only Taking the long way home Say yes, say no But don’t leave me here all alone One of these days, you’re gonna see I was only Taking the long way home
