"Taking the Long Way Home" by The Fixx

Played abroad many nights on my ship, after stumbling back from tucked away haunts.

It's not where you are
It's what you think
Satellite beams
Trusting your instincts

Miles down the road
Trees grow in place
Our rooms now down know
Not face to face
Not face to face

A prison of Rhodes
They mess with your head
Enjoy your time
Look for the magic instead
The books in your life
Have now run their course
Find that the peace comes without force
Without force

I feel like taking the long way home tonight
Maybe I'll turn left - I better get right
Keeping my eyes on that distant harbor light
The seas may be wrong
But the stars shine bright

Are you dead as you live?
Please come alive
Show me the pearl buried deep inside

Step off the cart
Come for the ride
It's more fun to seek than it is to hide
...Than it is to hide

I feel like taking the long way home tonight
Maybe I'll turn left
We better get right
Keeping my eyes on that distant harbor light

Ohhhh
The seas may be wrong
But the stars shine bright

There's the warming sight of the harbor lights
Straight through the hard door wrong or right
There're be no more doubt
There'll be no more lies
Keeping my eye
On the harbor lights
Taking the long way

Home
I feel like taking
The long way home tonight

There'll be no more doubt
There'll be no more lies - tonight

Stop where you are
It's what you think
Satellite beams
Trusting your instincts
I feel like taking the long way home - tonight

Taking the long
Taking the long way home...
