Lyrics
It's a Long, Long Way 2006
You're walking down the road, trying to find what it is that you're looking for/
It can't be bought, it can't be sold, it can't be measured by the things we've been told/
If a child can lead the way, are we looking way too hard for the answer?
It can't be bought, it can't be sold, it can't be measured by the things we've been told/
Chorus:
And it's a long, long way back to where we started from/ it's a long, long way to where we're going/ it's a long, long way back to where we started from/ it's a long long way to where we're going/
Bridge:
Cast your net into the sea/ it's coming up empty/ maybe it's time to cast it on the other side/
Look at the sky, can't you see the signs of where we're going to?/
Red sky at night, sailor's delight/ red sky in the morning, it brings a warning/
Cast your net into the sea, it's coming up empty/ maybe it's time to cast it on the other side
Chorus:
And it's a long, long way back to where we started from/ it's a long, long way to where we're going
You're walking down the road, trying to find what it is that you're looking for/ it can't be bought it can't be sold/ it can't be measured by the things
we've been told;
Chorus: (end)
