Once in a while You end up in a town Its doors open up for you Step outside to look up and see The sky's looking back at you The lights rain down Once in a while You get a little help You least expected too Look in the mirror A couple times you see If all of it is true And your mind's On a bed of clouds Once in a Long, Long While Once in a Long, Long While Once in a Long, Long While Once in a while You get a little lost In the fault between the trees Stumbling out upon the waiting arms Of the woman of your dreams And your love Comes raining down Once in a Long, Long While Once in a Long, Long While Once in a Long, Long While Once in a Long, Long While Once in a Long, Long While

I remember the moment that my dreams were broken I wrote them down on a post card then threw it away I slipped into some trousers and rolled out my window Then went out into the wilderness where I'm going to stay And it's a long, long, long journey that we've been on And it's a long, long, long story that can be told And it's a long, long day We've come a long, long way And it's a long, long, long way back I'm looking around this museum for paintings I relate to Even though most of them were painted by somebody else Then we went to the movies and watched lots of films there, yeah Now I'm going down to Hollywood to make them myself And it's a long, long, long journey that we've been on And it's a long, long, long story that will be told And it's a long, long day We've come a long, long way And it's a long, long, long way back And it's a big, big vehicle that we're driving in And I've been following this roadway since it began And if I came here to lose, then I still might win When I go down that road again And the road doesn't end It's a long, long road, and we follow it again and again And the road don't pretend I went down to the Coast Guard to see what they're guarding See what the sign says, you idiot, we're guarding the coast Now I'm going on a podcast to talk about my memories Even though I can't remember anything from before the show I made some long, long phone calls to my friends at home And I told them where I've been and the places I'm going And they said, "Wow, that's incredible, but we already know Because of that long, long song you wrote" About how it's a long, long, long journey that we've been on And it's a long, long, long story that shall be told And it's a long, long day We've come a long, long way But there's still a long way to go It's a long, long, long way It's a long, long, strong way It's a long, long, long way Forward

The higher the mountain, the harder the fall Looking for blood at the scene of the crime It's been running in circles or nothing at all For a long, long, long time Boxing at shadows and listening at doors Pushing the buttons and pulling the blinds We haven't been honest or clever or sure In a long, long, long time It's been a long, long, long time Oh, funny how the heart of everyone Is the part you'll never know Funny how the heart of holding on Is letting go The higher the mountain, the harder thе fall Turning the corner and looking for signs You leap in thе dark while I wait for the call It's been a long, long, long time Out of the furnace and into the flames Holding a candle and crossing the line We haven't been playing with fire or rain In a long, long, long time For a long, long, long time It's been a long, long, long time Oh, funny how the heart of everyone Is the part you'll never know Oh, funny how the heart of holding on Is letting go Funny how the heart of everyone (save me the last word) Is the part you'll never know Funny how the heart of holding on (save me the last word) Is letting go Funny how the heart of everyone (save me the last word) Is the part you'll never know Funny how the heart of holding on (save me the last word) Is letting go The higher the mountain, the harder the fall The higher the mountain, the harder the fall
