Take the Long Way Home

take the long way

forget about time

it knows less about itself than I

it counts for nothing

everything time is supposed to be

was meant to be

is meaningless

numberless

in our timeless

compressions

take the long way back to me

there is plenty to see

hug the curving road

swerve above the sea

above the sun

above the

above

take the long way back to me

slowly draw yourself

stretch from breath to breath

sigh to sigh

toe to toe

take the long way home

and stop for no one
