The Long Way
And if it's pain that's teaching me
Come give me my degree
Dressed in a cap and gown not honorary
Wrap gold cords around my neck
In dead languages present
Rare learning
High relief
When you walk away
You're only coming back
You're only coming back
The long way
When you walk away
You're only coming back
You're only coming back
The long way
So it's pain that's teaching me
In a course I must repeat
While summer's winding down
Unwillingly
Wrap black silk around my neck
Small steps to pay respect
When I'm already
Bereft of everything
When you walk away
You're only coming back
You're only coming back
The long way
When you walk away
You're only coming back
You're only coming back
The long way
When you walk away
You're only coming back
You're only coming back
The long way
Come give me my degree
Dressed in a cap and gown not honorary
Wrap gold cords around my neck
In dead languages present
Rare learning
High relief
When you walk away
You're only coming back
You're only coming back
The long way
When you walk away
You're only coming back
You're only coming back
The long way
So it's pain that's teaching me
In a course I must repeat
While summer's winding down
Unwillingly
Wrap black silk around my neck
Small steps to pay respect
When I'm already
Bereft of everything
When you walk away
You're only coming back
You're only coming back
The long way
When you walk away
You're only coming back
You're only coming back
The long way
When you walk away
You're only coming back
You're only coming back
The long way
