WE'VE COME A LONG WAY
by K. McGarrigle

(Chorus)
We've come a long way since we last shook hands
We've still got a long way to go
We couldn't see the flowers when we last shook hands
We couldn't see the flowers on account of the snow.

All my life I wanted to roam
To go to the ends of the Earth
But Earth really ends where you started to roam
And you and I know what a circle is worth.

We've come a long way since we last shook hands....

What did you do with you burden and your cross
Did you carry it alone or did you crack
We both know that a burden and a cross
Can only be carried on one man's back.

We've come a long way since we last shook hands....

So give me your hand for the parting touch
Fare thee well, thanks a lot
I know that we promised to keep in touch
But you and I know that we both forgot.

We've come a long way since we last shook hands
We've still got a long way to go
We couldn't see the flowers when we last shook hands
We couldn't see the flowers on account of the snow.
