歌詞

I'm taking the long way

To nowhere in the house

Down the hallway, past the photos

Trailing fingers on the wall

I stop to straighten one small frame

Then don't move on at all

The floor makes friendly noises

Where the boards know me by heart

No map for wandering my own home

No hurry, no because

He leads me beside quiet waters

And sometimes that's just walls

I visit rooms like neighbors

Just to see what light is there

The kitchen's gold, the study's green

The bedroom's soft and fair

I open one old drawer and find

A summer from before

No map for wandering my own home

No hurry, no because

He leads me beside quiet waters

And sometimes that's just walls

A house you have the time to walk

Becomes a friend again

Each doorway says do come in

Each window says amen

Mmm... mmm... mmm

No map for wandering my own home

No hurry, no because

He leads me beside quiet waters

And sometimes that's just walls

No map for wandering my own home

No hurry, no because

He leads me beside quiet waters

And sometimes that's just walls

I took the long way home

Inside my own small home
