let's take the long way home

Tears and fears and feelin’ proud

To say I love you right out loud

Dreams and schemes and circus crowds

I’ve looked at life that way

All but now friends they’re acting strange

When they shake their heads and they tell me that I’ve changed

Well, something’s lost, but something’s gained, in livin’ every day

I’ve looked at life from both sides now

From win and lose

And still somehow it’s life’s illusions I recall

I really don’t know life at all

Tears and fears and feelin’ proud

To say I love you right out loud

Dreams and schemes and circus crowds

I’ve looked at life that way

All but now friends they’re acting strange

When they shake their heads and they tell me that I’ve changed

Well, something’s lost, but something’s gained, in livin’ every day

I’ve looked at life from both sides now

From win and lose

And still somehow it’s life’s illusions I recall

I really don’t know life at all
