Long Way Home Lyrics - Orphans - Tom Waits

(Tom Waits/ Kathleen Brennan) 

Well I stumbled in the darkness 

I'm lost and alone 

Though I said I'd go before us 

And show the way back home 

There a light up ahead 

I can't hold onto her arm 

Forgive me pretty baby but I always take the long way home 

Money's just something you throw 

Off the back of a train 

Got a head full of lightning 

A hat full of rain 

And I know that I said 

I'd never do it again 

And I love you pretty baby but I always take the long way home

I put food on the table 

And roof overhead 

But I'd trade it all tomorrow 

For the highway instead 

Watch your back if I should tell you 

Love's the only thing I've ever known 

One thing for sure pretty baby I always take the long way home

You know I love you baby 

More than the whole wide world 

You are my woman 

I know you are my pearl 

Let's go out past the party lights 

Where we can finally be alone 

Come with me and we can take the long way home 

Come with me, together we can take the long way home 

Come with me, together we can take the long way home
