Tom Waits

(Tom Waits/ Kathleen Brennan)
Well I stumbled in the darkness
Im lost and alone
Though I said Id go before us
And show the way back home
There a light up ahead
I cant hold onto her arm
Forgive me pretty baby but I always take the long way home
Moneys just something you throw
Off the back of a train
Got a head full of lightning
A hat full of rain
And I know that I said
Id never do it again
And I love you pretty baby but I always take the long way home
I put food on the table
And roof overhead
But Id trade it all tomorrow
For the highway instead
Watch your back if I should tell you
Loves the only thing Ive ever known
One thing for sure pretty baby I always take the long way home
You know I love you baby
More than the whole wide world
You are my woman
I know you are my pearl
Lets go out past the party lights
Where we can finally be alone
Come with me and we can take the long way home
Come with me, together we can take the long way home
Come with me, together we can take the long way home
[ Long Way Home Lyrics ]
