Look at them laughing they thought it was funny
Another of his foolish games
He packed up his things took just what he could carry
Said goodbye I'm going away
And there in the moment they thought it was strange
Quite unusual to understand
But things aren't always what they seem to be
And the picture he painted was not what he planned

And he's gone as long as it will take him
To find a place to rest his crazy mind
And he knows his will will not forsake him
Til he finds the thing he's dreamin'
Even though he knows that it's a
Long long way

He listens to rivers and talks to the moment
When nobody else is around
He lives in the creases between rhymes and reasons
Where magic and secrets are found
He looked at the desert and he saw the flowers
Of meadows and mountains of blue
He's danced with the silence and held onto whispers
And treasures each moment he's traveling through

And he's gone as long as it will take him
To find a place to rest his crazy mind
And he knows his will will not forsake him
Til he finds the thing he's dreamin'
Even though he knows that it's a
Long long way

And when he finds the gold
They'll come to him and circle him
Like birds up in the sky
Tearing at the peace and joy he's found

And he's gone as long as it will take him
To find a place to rest his crazy mind
And he knows his will will not forsake him
Til he finds the thing he's dreamin'
Walking on what he believes in
Deep inside his heart is screamin'
Even though he knows that it's a
Long long way
Long long way
Long long way
