Come A Long Way |
| We’ve come a long way since we last shook hands |
| Still got a long way to go |
| We couldn’t see the flowers since 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 |
| You and I 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 |
| You and I know what a circle is worth |
| 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 |
| Give me your hand for the parting touch |
| Fare thee well and thanks a lot |
| I know that we promised we would keep in touch |
| But you and I know that we both forgot |
| We’ve 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 |
