Kevin Zarnett - The Long Way Lyrics

An autumn honeymoon
For a wedding in early June
We had other things to do
Cashing cheques for bills overdue

We heard our wedding tune
Held-up in your bedroom
Played it 'til the morning sun
But we never danced to it once

I took the long way to lovin' you
The long way to lovin' you
I took the long way 'til you came through

Blueprints and plans
I sketched them out by hand
But things are smaller than they seem
Looking at a concave dream

I took the long way to lovin' you
The long way to lovin' you
I took the long way 'til you came through

I never tried the scenic view
I'd jump from one thing to find something new
'Til I waited for you

Fashionable shoes
My old ones are worn through
Still got some polishing to do
Won't take for granted something new

We heard our wedding song
Played by sailor's at the crack of dawn
They sent us off with good will
Waiting for our sails to fill

I took the long way to lovin' you
The long way to lovin' you
I took the long way 'til you...
I took the long way 'til you came through

I took the long way
I took the long way
I took the long way
Oooh, oooh, oooh, 'til you came through
