Lyrics
take the long way home
Go down by the river
He's got to think about his circumstance
He thinks he hasn't got enough to give her
He thinks for her it's just another dance
But look in her eyes, look deep in her eyes
You'll find the answers there.
He's got her earrings hanging on his mirror
he's got her name engraved across his soul
He thinks sometimes that she might disappear and
he'll lose the love he thought would make him whole
But look iin her eyes, look deep in her eyes
You'll find the answers there
He wakes some mornings to a winsome lover
He wakes some mornings to a tangled wire
He thinks sometimes that he can't get enough of her
He thinks sometimes he'll burn up in her fire
But look in her eyes look deep in her eyes
You'll find the answers there
Take the long way home go down by the river
He's got to think about his circumstance
