lyrics

If I make light of the things I love
It's just fear of loss to abate
But all I need is the sky above
And my loneliness is allayed

I always take the long way round
As happy in fields as cities or towns
When I lose my way it's just a new way I've found

So come with me and we'll put to sea
There's a land out there to be built
I'm not sure what life has in store
But I promise now that we will

Always take the long way round
As happy in fields as cities or towns
When we lose our way
It's just a new way we've found

So always take the long way round
Be as happy in fields as cities or towns
And when you lose your way
It's just a new way you've found
