The Long Way Home

Posted by admin - 2003-12-19

(Tom Waits)

Well I stumbled in the darkness
I'm lost and alone
Though I said I'd go before us
And show the way back home
There a light up ahead
I can't hold onto her arm
Forgive me pretty baby but I always take the long way home

Money's just something you throw
Off the back of a train
Got a handful of lightening
A hat full of rain
And I know that I said
I'd 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 I'd trade it all tomorrow
For The highway instead
Watch your back if I should tell you
Loves the only thing I've 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
Let's go out past the party lights
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

Hi,

I´ve not heard Tom Waits singing this song, but Norah and her group performs it wonderfully. I´m happy I got to know Tom Waits throu Norah, at his webb www.officialtomwaits.com I noticed some very beautiful and poetical lyrics. I didn´t find this song there, though.
