Come A Long Way Lyrics - Dancer With Bruised Knees - Kate & Anna Mcgarrigle

Well we come a long way since we last shook hands 

Still got a long way to go 

Couldn't see the flowers when we last shook hands 

Couldn't see the flowers on account of the snow 

What did you do with your burden and your cross 

Did you carry it yourself or did you crack 

We all know that a burden and a cross 

Can only be carried on one man's back 

All my life I wanted to roam 

To go to the ends of the earth 

But the earth really ends where you started to roam 

And you and I know what a circle is worth 

Give me your hand for the parting touch 

Fare thee well and thanks a lot 

I know we promised to keep in touch 

But you and I know that we both forgot 

Let's drink a cup to what went down 

There's not much left to reveal 

I think I changed my mind after what went down 

As to who in the end got the better deal 

Ah we come a long way since we last shook hands 

Still got a long way to go 

Couldn't see the flowers when we last shook hands 

Couldn't see the flowers on account of the snow
