[Verse 1] You left your red scarf on the kitchen chair A paper list with crooked letters there The kettle sang, the morning took its time And you drew a little sun beside my line [Pre-Chorus] We had a train to catch by half past nine But missed it laughing underneath the sign [Chorus] Take the long way home with me Past the orchard and the old oak tree If the day runs late, let it be There’s nowhere else I’d rather see Take the long way home with me [Verse 2] The market man remembered what we buy Two peaches, bread, and flowers tied with twine You held them close against your woolen coat And hummed a tune you said you barely wrote [Pre-Chorus] The afternoon was turning honey-gold Your hand was warm, the evening wasn’t cold [Chorus] Take the long way home with me Past the orchard and the old oak tree If the day runs late, let it be There’s nowhere else I’d rather see Take the long way home with me [Bridge] Years may fold the map and fade the road But I’ll remember every place we slowed The chipped blue gate, the sparrows on the wire Your quiet laugh beside the county fire [Chorus] Take the long way home with me Past the orchard and the old oak tree If the day runs late, let it be There’s nowhere else I’d rather see Take the long way home with me [Outro] Red scarf hanging by the kitchen door Two pairs of shoes beside the wooden floor The kettle sings, and morning starts anew I take the long way home with you
