lyrics

Long line

Started out by trailing crumbs
A simple rule of thumb
Somehow we got
Lost in the night

Then tying ribbons round the leaves
A pathway through the trees
But you’re gone a while
They get hidden from sight

Til the end
From the start
Where you go
There you are
It’s a long line
But it’s bound to bring you home

Time
Slipping through your hands
In interwoven strands
Loose ends trail but
The knots hold on tight

Til the end
From the start
Where you go
There you are
It’s a long line
But it’s bound to bring you home

Out with the old
And in with the new
Over and over
In a moment that you’re always passing through

From the start
Where you go
There you are
It’s a long line
But it’s bound to bring you home

Til the end
From the start
Where you go
There you are
It’s a long line
But it’s bound to bring you
It’s a long line
But it’s bound to bring you
It’s a long line
But it’s bound to bring you
Home…..
