Come a Long Way lyrics

Well, we come a long way since we last shook hands

Still got a long way to go

We couldn't see the flowers when we last shook hands

Couldn't see the flowers on account of the snow

What did you do with your burden and your cross

Did you carry it yourself or did you crack?

You and I know that a burden and a cross

Can only be carried on one man's back

All my life I wanted to roam

To go to the ends of the earth

But the earth really ends where you started to roam

You and I know what a circle is worth

Let's drink a cup to what went down

There's not much left to reveal

I think I changed my mind after what went down

As to who in the end got the better deal

Give me your hand for the parting touch

Fare thee well and thanks a lot

I know that we promised we would keep in touch

But you and I know that we both forgot

Oh, we come a long way since we last shook hands

Still got a long way to go

We couldn't see the flowers when we last shook hands

Couldn't see the flowers on account of the snow

Ah, come a long way since we last shook hands

Still got a long way to go

Well, we couldn't see the flowers when we last shook hands

Couldn't see the flowers on account of the snow
