11. The Long Way Home

Verse 1 (Male) Streetlights on the blacktop, shadows stretch and fade. (Male) Every mile behind us, choices that we made. (Female) You’re sitting here beside me, yet the night feels wide. (Male) But the long way home is sweeter with you by my side. Chorus (Both) Take the long way home tonight, Under starlight burning bright. Every turn the road still shows, Love is where the highway goes. Verse 2 (Male) Radio is playing, a song we used to know. (Male) Windows down and drifting, the warm night breezes blow. (Both) We could hurry back, (Female) but what’s the use of time, (Both) When the long way home reminds me your hand is still in mine. Chorus (Male + Female trade-off) (Male) Take the long way home tonight… (Female) With your love I’ll be all right. (Together) Through the miles the truth has shown, (Together) The long way home will lead us home. Bridge (Both, echo or unison) Every road we travel… (echo: every road we travel) Every dream we chase… (echo: every dream we chase) Brings us to this moment… In your embrace. Chorus (Full harmony duet) Take the long way home tonight, With your love I’ll be all right. Through the miles the truth has shown, The long way home will lead us home. Final Chorus (Full harmony duet) Take the long way home tonight, With your love I’ll be all right. Through the miles the truth has shown, The long way home will lead us home. Outro (Female echo / Male sustain) (Male) The long way home… (Both, fading) The long way home…
