Текст песни
[Verse 1] You left your paper map beside the window Circles round the towns we never knew I packed the little camera from the kitchen And saved the last seat on the afternoon Your sister waved from underneath the awning A yellow scarf caught in the breeze We took the road that followed all the water With no appointment past the trees [Pre-Chorus] If the world keeps turning, let it turn us loose Every mile is opening a different view Take my hand, the day is ours to choose I can feel the good news coming through [Chorus] We’re taking the long way home tonight Heartbeats keeping time with the radio No matter where the road bends out of sight I know, I know, you’re the place I wanna go Turn it up, let the whole coast sing Leave our worries underneath the sun We’re taking the long way home tonight And the best part has just begun [Verse 2] We bought cold oranges from a roadside table Juice ran down your wrist and you laughed A fisherman was mending blue-green nylon While gulls kept stealing pieces of his lunch At the harbor, children chased the pigeons Paint peeled softly off the boats You told me every dream you kept postponing I told you none of them were gone [Pre-Chorus] If the world keeps turning, let it turn us loose Every mile is opening a different view Take my hand, the day is ours to choose I can feel the good news coming through [Chorus] We’re taking the long way home tonight Heartbeats keeping time with the radio No matter where the road bends out of sight I know, I know, you’re the place I wanna go Turn it up, let the whole coast sing Leave our worries underneath the sun We’re taking the long way home tonight And the best part has just begun [Bridge] Maybe we were waiting for permission Maybe we were scared to miss the train But the tickets were still warm inside our pockets And the morning called us by our names [Final Chorus] We’re taking the long way home tonight Heartbeats keeping time with the radio No matter where the road bends out of sight I know, I know, you’re the place I wanna go Turn it up, let the whole coast sing Leave our worries underneath the sun We’re taking the long way home tonight And the best part has just begun [Outro] Long way, long way Your hand in mine, the open road Long way, long way The best part has just begun
