Long Way Around

Eagle Eye Cherry

(performed by Cherry / Neneh Cherry)



You say what you say

And you pray that one day

You'll be seen between the shadows

Now that's a waist of your pain

Living your life like a saint

When it don't...no

It don't even matter

Even saints make their mistakes

Letting their dreams fall and break

All it feels like

Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down

Now I want you to see

How good life can be

You can turn around

And better your life

With the good times found



People will always take the long way around

Before you know it you'll be lost and found

Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down

People will always take the long way around

People will always take the long way around

Before you know it you'll be lost and found

Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down

People will always take the long way around



I'm not afraid of pride

When it's for the right side

Don't betray what I believe in

Stand where you want to stand

And I'll believe when I can

Cause I'm telling you now

I been where you?re living in



People will always take the long way around

Before you know it you'll be lost and found

Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down

People will always take the long way around

People will always take the long way around

Before you know it you'll be lost and found

Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down

People will always take the long way around



Will tomorrow keep it's promise

No one here can say

The past is all behind us

And all we have is today

And all we have is today



People will always take the long way around

Before you know it you'll be lost and found

Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down

People will always take the long way around

People will always take the long way around

Before you know it you'll be lost and found

Living in sunshine with the shades pu
