[Verse 1: Male] The county road was silver after rain Your blue scarf dancing from the window pane We crossed the bridge where the old mill turns With a paper map and a tank that burned [Verse 2: Female] You said the morning had a place for us A little porch and a garden full of dust I kept your promise folded in my coat And every mile became a line we wrote [Chorus: Both] Take the long way home, let the river bend Keep a little room for the road’s next turn When the day runs out and the fields grow dim I’ll be right beside you, you beside me then [Bridge: Male and Female] [Male] If the wheels get tired, we can walk awhile [Female] If the sky turns rough, I can share your mile [Both] No grand design, no borrowed throne Just two voices finding their way home [Final Chorus: Both] Take the long way home, let the river bend Keep a little room for the road’s next turn When the day runs out and the fields grow dim I’ll be right beside you, you beside me then
