Too Long a Journey

Why did I leave town?
I should have hung around
I didn't realize I needed your comfort
Now I'd like to call
But I have no change at all
And I don't think I remember your number

It's too long a journey, you said
But you're right around the corner if you're in my head
China to L.A. is just a spin
When you get to the state that I'm in

The heartbeat that you send
Is out there in the wind
I can feel it late at night when I'm sleeping
Blowing all around
Rising up and falling down
Crying as it slowly stops beating

It's too long a journey, you said
But you're right around the corner if you're in my head
China to L.A. is just a spin
When you get to the state that I'm in

Oh, there've been so many lovers
And I've had so many friends
Each one different from the others
All familiar at the end

I'm watching the dreams disappear
A thousand miles between us and I'm stuck right here
And it's too long a journey, too hard to begin
When you get to the state that I'm in
Too long a journey, you said (Too long a journey)
Too long a journey, you said
