Timothy O'Donovan: Music

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)
• MP3 short clip, lo-fi play (modem)

Once I hung the
Moon above your bed
And you hung on
Every word I said
And now those days have
Gone behind
You’ve found someone else
To share your time with
And you sent me away

I had to take
The long way home
The long way home
The long way home
I had to take
The long way home
And I had to take it alone

Now boys and slaves they
Haunt your stoop
And they make rest
Just too hard fought for you
And you seek solace
From me now
Because my replacement
Shot you down
What am I to do?

I had to take
The long way home
The long way home
The long way home
I had to take
The long way home
And I had to take it alone

You look up at me
For words you’d hope I’d say
But I turn away slowly
And only pause to say
Now you remember baby
You’ll have to take the long way home
The long way home
The long way home
You’ll have to take the long way home
And you’ll have to take it alone
