| We drove north to the river in the mountains,
|
| Holding on and hoping for a lie when we got cold,
|
| Then my belongings brought the devil’s reins upon us,
|
| I lied to you, I lied to you, I’ll never be the same.
|
| I fake but I don’t break,
|
| In the night when lonely,
|
| I’m taking the long way down.
|
| In the car we drove away,
|
| We watched the clouds snake,
|
| I’m taking the long way down.
|
| Within terms of beauty I saw gold that lay before me,
|
| The sky between the leaves as I did lay and barely sleep,
|
| Then my surroundings became more than just the mountains,
|
| A gift laid at my feet and all the power to take and eat
|
| I fake but I don’t break,
|
| In the night when lonely,
|
| I’m taking the long way down.
|
| In the car we drove away,
|
| We watched the clouds snake,
|
| I’m taking the long way down.
|
| Brother I don’t need you now, I’m heading down, to the ancient gates of old.
|
| Brothers we don’t need you now, we’re heading down, as the fall covers the
|
| stone,
|
| And we write our names in light.
|
| Brothers we don’t need you know, I’m heading down,
|
| to the ancient gates of old, and I never know what it will be.
|
| Oh heaven help me now, we’re coming up and we’re free from all the scars
|
| and its done babe and we’re free but we never found a way
|
| And I know not what I have done, but I have found enlightening from which it
|
| comes,
|
| I know how and I know why, I know heaven’s going to make me go. |
