Verse 1: Male

You left your blue cup by the kitchen sink

The morning took its time to arrive

I read the note you folded into quarters

And let the quiet settle in awhile

Verse 2: Female

I kept your old coat hanging by the doorway

Though spring has filled the branches again

Some things are hard to put away in boxes

Some roads are easier walked as friends

Chorus: Duet

Take the long way home with me

Past the fields we used to know

We don't have to name the feeling

We can let the evening go slow

Take the long way home with me

Step by step, and side by side

If the miles have changed between us
