The Long Way - Dan Fogelberg
She was lost
And I thought I was found
Even so I tried
To bring her in
She was young
And I had just begun
To learn that even
Losing men can win
We went the long way
We went the long way
We went the long way
Or maybe just the wrong way
I'll never know
Overnight
We were shown the light
Neither of us knew
To look away
So we burned
And far too late we learned
That lifetimes can't be lived out
In a day
We went the long way
We went the long way
We went the long way
Or maybe just the wrong way
I'll never know
So goodbye
At least me made the try
Something can be said for
Love that's pure
If and when
We ever try again
One thing will be known to us
For sure
We'll go the long way
We'll go the long way
We'll go the long way
Or maybe just the wrong way
I'll never know
