Long Way Home Lyrics - The Singer (2 Cd Set) - Art Garfunkel

The answer 

Took some searchin' for, 

But you think you understand. 

With the lights still off, 

Our clothes still on the floor, 

And your head in your hands 

You say he's holdin' you back 

And bringin' you down. 

You're all out of reasons 

To stick around. 

It's time to think of yourself 

In spite of his tears 

And break your vow 

Of so many years. 

Don't get me wrong. 

I like what I hear, 

And even if it's true, 

I have to ask 

Cause I want to be absolutely clear: 

Just what am I to you? 

Oh, I'm your light in the dark, 

Your breath of fresh air, 

The love of your life, 

The answer to all your prayers. 

No, 

I am just your 

Long way home. 

I know it. 

You'll know it soon. 

I am just your 

Long way home. 

You're welcome. 

That morning 

The day had finally come 

For somebody to lose. 

You kissed me hard 

And walked out of my door 

To give him the bad news. 

But I followed you there 

Like the sick f___k I am 

To see what he'd do 

When you said good-bye again. 

You opened the door, 

And he opened his arms, 

And you fell into them 

Like a baby. 

I left for my car. 

I became your 

Long way home. 

I knew it. 

You know it now. 

I was just your 

Long way home. 

I knew it. 

He knows it now. 

I was just your 

Long way home. 

You're welcome.
