8: LONG WAY TO GO
Words and Music by Deborah Jeanne Weitzman

The garden is so silent - no one is there
I think the tiger's sleeping
And I'm learning not to care
But sweat it trickles down my back despite a sun so low
It's a long, long way to go

Jealousy it haunts so deep and rips the innards clean
Still we say the sweetest words when we're thinking mean
We creep around commitment And we fear the fatal blow
It's a long, long way to go
It's a long way from Chattanooga to the sands of Timbuktu
No one has the perfect map to find the shortcut through
You try to keep it simple, and be proud of what you know
But it's a long, long way to go
Take my bones and move them
And I'll love you till I die
Teach me how I ought to think & how to tell a lie
Help me see what's funny in this tragic circus show
It's a long, long way to go
