Lyrics: Skylark. A Long Way To Go.

A Long Way To Go
Skylark Composers: Mann & Weil

( A long... way... to go... d? y? know... )

I?ve burned my eyes on the summertime skies traveling a country mile
I drowned my pain in the winter rain and the sweetness of a smile...
I?ve been possessed or maybe I?m blessed by dreams I can?t define
But can?t you see there?s a light in me and I?ve got to make it shine...

Chorus...
Oh, sweet Mary..., Mary, don?t you know...
I may have come a long way but I?ve got a long way to go...

I get through fire? I?ve been down to the wild just trying to find my name
I?ve soared as high as the wild birds fly but I still came down the same?
Now I may feel just a little more real but I?m still more lost than found
But when nighttime comes I still need someone to wrap my love around...


Chorus...
Oh?(oh?), sweet Mary..., (sweet, sweet) Mary, don?t?( Mary don?t? ) you know... (you know?)
I may have come a long way but I?ve got a long way to go...
Oh, sweet Mary..., Mary, don?t?( Mary don?t? ) you know... (you know?)
I may have come a long way but I?ve got a long way to go...

( Musical Intervention )

Chorus?
Oh?(oh?), sweet Mary..., (sweet, sweet) Mary, don?t?( Mary don?t? ) you know... (you know?)
I may have come a long way but I?ve got a long way to go...
Oh, sweet Mary..., Mary, don?t?( Mary don?t? ) you know... (you know?)
I may have come a long way but I?ve got a long way to go?
