Long Way Home Lyrics - Pool It! - Monkees

The other night I took the long way home 

Out past the old schoolyard 

It's funny how you keep it all inside 

Dreams they do die hard 

I closed my eyes and I could see your face 

Somewhere back in time 

One summer night a million miles ago 

Back when you were mine 

Say yes, say no, say that I'm grabbing at shadows 

But don't carve the words in stone 

I know it's late 

But can't you see I was only 

Taking the long way home

Sometimes its easy to get all wrapped up 

In trying to be free 

And all those dreams I sailed away to find 

Were right in front of me 

Say yes, say no, say that I'm grabbing at shadows 

But don't carve the words in stone 

One of these days 

You're gonna see I was only 

Taking the long way home 

Although the letters stopped many years ago 

I'll show you even time could not keep this heart 

from letting go 

The other night I took the long way home 

Out past the old schoolyard 

It's funny how you keep it all inside 

Dreams they do die hard

Say yes, say no, say that I'm grabbing at shadows 

But don't leave me here all alone 

One of these days 

You're gonna see I was only 

Taking the long way home 

Say yes, say no 

But don't leave me here all alone 

One of these days 

You're gonna see I was only 

Taking the long way home
