Why did I leave town? I should have hung around I didn't realize I needed your comfort Now I'd like to call But I have no change at all And I don't think I remember your number It's too long a journey, you said But you're right around the corner if you're in my head China to L.A. is just a spin When you get to the state that I'm in The heartbeat that you send Is out there in the wind I can feel it late at night when I'm sleeping Blowing all around Rising up and falling down Crying as it slowly stops beating It's too long a journey, you said But you're right around the corner if you're in my head China to L.A. is just a spin When you get to the state that I'm in Oh, there've been so many lovers And I've had so many friends Each one different from the others All familiar at the end I'm watching the dreams disappear A thousand miles between us and I'm stuck right here And it's too long a journey, too hard to begin When you get to the state that I'm in Too long a journey, you said (Too long a journey) Too long a journey, you said
