Look at them laughing they thought it was funny   Another of his foolish games   He packed up his things, took just what he could carry   Said goodbye I'm going away   And there in the moment they thought it was strange   Quite unusual to understand   But things aren't always what they seem to be   And the picture he painted was not what he planned      And he's gone as long as it will take him   To find a place to rest his crazy mind   And he knows his will will not forsake him   'Til he finds the thing he's dreamin'   Even though he knows that it's a   Long Long Way      He listens to rivers and talks to the moment   When nobody else is around   He lives in the creases between rhymes and reasons   Where magic and secrets are found   He looked at the desert and he saw the flowers   Of meadows and mountains of blue   He's danced with the silence and held onto whispers   And treasures each moment he's traveling through      And he's gone as long as it will take him   To find a place to rest his crazy mind   And he knows his will will not forsake him   'Til he finds the thing he's dreamin'   Even though he knows that it's a   Long Long Way      And when he finds the gold   They'll come to him and circle him   Like birds up in the sky   Tearing at the peace and joy he's found      And he's gone as long as it will take him   To find a place to rest his crazy mind   And he knows his will will not forsake him   'Til hi finds the thing he's dreamin'   Walkin' on what he believes in   Deep inside his heart is screamin'   Even though he knows that it's a   Long Long Way
