She was lost   And I thought I was found   Even so I tried   To bring her in      She was young   And I had just begun   To learn that even   Losing men can win      We went the long way   We went the long way   We went the long way   Or maybe just the wrong way   I'll never know      Overnight   We were shown the light   Neither of us knew   To look away      So we burned   And far too late we learned   That lifetimes can't be lived out   In a day      We went the long way   We went the long way   We went the long way   Or maybe just the wrong way   I'll never know      So, goodbye   At least we made the try   Something can be said   For love that's pure      If and when   We ever try again   One thing will be known   To us for sure      We'll go the long way   We'll go the long way   We'll go the long way   Or maybe just the wrong way   I'll never know, I'll never know
