I took the long road to your house
Your eyes dancing in the night
And my will burning in my lungs
I took what I could take
And I headed straight into the road
That led me away from you
Why would you relieve me of all kindness
Was I already dust when you spoke my name?
Was I not your poem when you dreamt me?

Instrumental (outro)
I learned of men the simple things
As love, hate and regret
So I made my escape by the devil's hour
Through this old road that cuts me in half
Where I stumble on the stones
That fill my heart and drag me down
Instrumental (outro)
So I took the long road to your house
Your eyes dancing in the night
And my will burning in my lungs
I took the long road to your house
Your eyes dancing in the night
And my will burning in my lungs
I took what I could take
