Long Way Home (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

It’s hard to say from where you stand
Exactly when it all began
But someplace there’s a point you cross the line
You see the tears than stain your face
Mirrored in your make-up case
And know it’s time to leave this place behind
It’s a long way home
It’s a long way home
It’s a long way home
Trying to retrace your steps
All too easy to forget
Just which way to go
It’s a long way home

Outside the sky is threatening
You slowly gather up your things
And wonder how you ever will explain
Walking out so self-assured
Yeah, you were gonna change the world
Walking back, a child in the rain

It’s a long way home
It’s a long way home
It’s a long way home
How can you retrace the steps
You’ve been trying to forget
Still it’s time to go
It’s a long way home
And if you lose your way
Just keep your eye upon that endless broken line

Throw your bag beneath the bus
Sit among the curious
It happens to the best of us, you know

It’s a long way home
It’s a long way home
It’s a long way home
Starting to retrace your steps
You learn to live with your regrets
Next stop heaven knows
It’s a long way home
Such a long way
It’s a long way home

Exactly when it all began
But someplace there’s a point you cross the line
You see the tears than stain your face
Mirrored in your make-up case

Chorus:
It’s a long way home
It’s a long way home
It’s a long way home
Trying to retrace your steps
All too easy to forget
Just which way to go
It’s a long way home

Outside the sky is threatening
You slowly gather up your things
And wonder how you ever will explain
Walking out so self-assured
Yeah, you were gonna change the world
Walking back, a child in the rain

Chorus:
It’s a long way home
It’s a long way home
It’s a long way home
How can you retrace the steps
You’ve been trying to forget
Still it’s time to go
And it’s a long way home

And if you lose your way

Chorus:
It’s a long way home
It’s a long way home
It’s a long way home
Starting to retrace your steps
You learn to live with your regrets
Next stop heaven knows
It’s a long way home
Such a long way
It’s a long way home

Long Way Home (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

J. spinks, r. difonzo

I drive these streets alone in silence
Another ride trying to clear my head
But all i hear is just the beat of my heart
I think of her but i see you instead

(chorus)
And there’s a thousand little lies
A thousand little reasons
For me to stay – for me to go
And there’s a thousand little voices
Inside my head saying
Take the long way home

I tell myself that it’s all over
But then i see you and i just don’t know
What should i listen to my heart or my mind
Too tired to think about the way i should go

(chorus)

There’s no one out there when you need to decide
And you’re on your own
You keep on thinking ‘bout the wrong that you’ve done
You try to hide but there’s no place to run

(chorus)

Long Way Home (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

(Hey) I’m driving down a dusty road
(Hey)I’ve got nowhere to go
(Hey) No place that I can call my own
On and on this road is burning
(Break away) I’m leaving all this crap behind
(Break away) The past is gone the future’s blind
(Break away) Don’t care how long it takes this time
On and on I’ll take the long way home
The long way home (Whoah!)
The long way home (Whoah!)
If it’s for me it’s on the way home

(Hey) Like fragments of a broken mind
(Hey) I splinter by my own design
(Hey) The search is not a waste of time
On and on this road keeps burning
(Break away) My hands are glued upon the wheel
(Break away) The road ahead is all I feel
(Break away) The only thing left that’s real
On and on I’ll take this long way home
The long way home (Whoah!)
The long way home (Whoah!)
I will go alone
I will go and find it on my own

What lays ahead you can not find for me

On and on I’ll take the long way home
The long way home (Whoah!)
The long way home (Whoah!)
If it’s for me it’s on the way home (Whoah!)
The long way home (Whoah!)
I’ll take the long way home (Whoah-Whoah-oh!)
I will go alone
I will go and find it on my own

Long Way Home (Letra)

The other night i took the long way home
Out past the old schoolyard
It’s funny how you keep it all inside
Dreams they do die hard

I closed my eyes and i could see your face
Somewhere back in time
One summer night a million miles ago
Back when you were mine

Say yes, say no, say that i’m grabbing at shadows
But don’t carve the words in stone
I know it’s late
But can’t you see i was only
Taking the long way home

Sometimes its easy to get all wrapped up
In trying to be free
And all those dreams i sailed away to find
Were right in front of me

Say yes, say no, say that i’m grabbing at shadows
But don’t carve the words in stone
One of these days
You’re gonna see i was only
Taking the long way home

Although the letters stopped many years ago
I’ll show you even time could not keep this heart
From letting go

The other night i took the long way home
Out past the old schoolyard
It’s funny how you keep it all inside
Dreams they do die hard

Say yes, say no, say that i’m grabbing at shadows
But don’t leave me here all alone
One of these days
You’re gonna see i was only
Taking the long way home

Say yes, say no
But don’t leave me here all alone
One of these days
You’re gonna see i was only
Taking the long way home
[repeat]

Long Way Home (Letra)

Father
Give me just a sign
That i’ll survive
How can i stay alive
When guns shot fire

People
I can feel the hate
Behind their eyes
Insanity rules my life
Got no tomorrow

It’s such a long long way from home
And in my heart i can’t go on
Lost on this battlefield of hope
I feel so lonely
It’s such a long way from home
My bleeding heart
Can’t take no more
Another day of war
That’s waiting on my way

Darling
There’s so much pain
I keep inside
I couldn’t believe my eyes
The sky’s are burning

Help me
Understand this fight
For wrong or right
What does it matter now
The world is dying

It’s such a long long way from home
And in my heart i can’t go on
Lost on this battlefield of hope
I feel so lonely
It’s such a long long way from home
My bleeding heart can’t take no more
Another day of war
Is waiting on my way

It’s such a long way from home
And in my heart i can’t go on
Lost on this battlefield of hope
I feel so lonely
It’s such a long long way from home
My bleeding heart can’t take no more
Another day of war
Is waiting on my way

Oh, it’s cold and lonely here-
Here in this telephone booth
There’s three sides to every story:
Yours and mine and the cold, hard truth
I think there’s something missing ‘round here
I don’t know where it’s gone
But it’s a long way back home

The heat don’t work
The toaster don’t work
The car don’t work
And i guess i know why
This house don’t work and this dream don’t
Work no more
And lover, neither do you and i
I fall asleep with the colors flying
Over sand and foam
But it’s a long way back home

And it’s a long way back home
And it’s a long way back home
It’s a long way back home

(dokken, pilson, lynch)

Sitting in the crossfire all alone
Waiting for a world to show the way
Tried to find a rose without a thorn
Such a foolish notion fades away

[if it’s all] in my mind
Then why does it feel
Like there isn’t any time

Walk the road [follow the madness]
Of someone’s path
Search for self [well it doesn’t mean you’re wrong]
If you can
‘cause it’s gonna be [‘cause it’s gonna be]
A long way home
Wandering through the maze of all the fears
In the mind it makes no sense at all
Tell me not what i’m supposed to do
Crucify you christ without my cross

If it’s all in my mind
Then why does it feel
Like i’m running out of time

Walk the road [follow the madness]
Of someone’s path
Search for self [well it doesn’t mean you’re wrong]
If you can
‘cause it’s gonna be [‘cause it’s gonna be]
A long way home

Mythical past
Future behind me, shattered
I could not be
Someone beside
Take back my soul, my soul

Walk the road [follow the madness]
Of someone’s path
Search for self [well it doesn’t mean you’re wrong]
If you can
‘cause it’s gonna be
A long way home

Long Way Home (Letra)

Leave me out, get away
I gotta go
Long way home
Can’t see through the trees
Leave me out, get away
Better run fast as I can
From the man – the dirty man – the old man

In my song
Run away, fly away
Long way home
Through the fields, the burning fields
Call my name
When you knock on the door
Go insane
When you knock on the door in my head
And it’s beatin’ like a drum

Tell me
Is it more of the same and
Where can I find it?
Tell me
Is she fighting for air and
Where does she come from?
Tell me
Leave me out, get away
I gotta go
Long way home
Can’t see through the trees
Leave me out, get away
Better run fast as I can
From the man – the dirty man – the old man,
Run away when he’s knocking on the door
What’s she runnin’ from?
I really don’t know
Keep her runnin’ it’s a long way home
I hear the music – songs we know
It’s out of time and the beat’s too slow

Long Way Home (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

Early in the morning, about a quarter to four
Me and my girlfriend walkin’ out the door
We’re heading for the car and we got right in
And that’s when i noticed the shape she was in
She turned to me and said right out
Let’s steer it awhile, let’s steer it about
Take the long way home, take the long way home
Make this night last
Well we drove down town and up in the woods
We drove around and around till i understood
I was holding the wheel, she was making out
And all this time i was driving about
She was fondling my hair and hugging my neck
And all i was thinking was, oh what the heck
Take the long way home, take the long way home
Make this night last
I was looking in the mirror and to my surprise
There was two big red lights shining in my eyes
I pull over and he drove alongside
And out of his car and up to my right
He looked at her and she looked at him
And the next thing i noticed he got right in
Take the long way home, take the long way home
Make this night last
Take the long way home, take the long way home
Take the long way home, take the long way home
Make this night last

We’re taking the long way home
(Taking the long way home)

Take me back to the middle of nowhere
Back to the place only you and I share
Remember all the memories
The fireflies and make believe

Kicking back at the old school yard
Singing songs on our guitars
This is our reality
Crazy stupid you and me

We know this is the way it’s supposed to be

So we’re taking the long way home (taking the long way)
‘Cause I don’t wanna be wasting my time all alone
I wanna get lost and drive forever with you
Talkin’ about nothing yeah whatever baby
So we’re taking the long way home (taking the long way)
Tonight

We’re taking the long way home
(Taking the long way home)
We’re taking the long way home

Now we’re stuck in the middle of nowhere
Yeah and only took our time to get there
Hiding out in a tree
Catching fire like kerosene (kerosene)

And you know I’d never let you down
‘Til the sun comes up we can own this town
Something like make believe
Living in a movie scene

Know this is the way it’s supposed to be

So we’re taking the long way home (taking the long way)
‘Cause I don’t wanna be wasting my time all alone
I wanna get lost and drive forever with you
Talkin’ about nothing yeah whatever baby
So we’re taking the long way home (taking the long way)

Hitting every red light
Kissing at the stop signs darling
Green Day’s on the radio
And everything is alright
Now we’re turning up the headlights darling
We’re just taking it slow

So we’re taking the long way home
‘Cause I don’t wanna be wasting my time all alone
I wanna get lost and drive forever with you
Talkin’ about nothing, yeah, whatever, baby
So we’re taking the long way home

Hitting every red light
Kissing at the stop signs darling
Green Day’s on the radio
And everything is alright
Now we’re turning up the headlights darling
We’re just taking it slow

We’re taking the long way home
We’re taking the long way home
We’re taking the long way home
