Long Way 'Round

I'm taking the long way 'round
I'm taking such a long way around
But darling please wait, please wait,
Please wait for me there

Streetlights are behind me and I've hit thin air
The road has been cruel - it's proven life's not fair
You know I can't wait to be with you
And I'm on my way

I'm just taking the long way 'round
I'm taking such a long way around
But darling please wait, please wait,
Please wait for me there

Some nights I lay awake, by the side of this road
And I weep for the distance, and the weight of my load
But I know strength will come with sunrise
And I'll be with you soon

I'm just taking the long way 'round
I'm taking such a long way around
But darling please wait, please wait,
Please wait for me there

I know you will be, You'll be
Waiting for me there
