Lyrics: Robert Hunter
Music: Jimmy Herring
A new song recorded for the Phil Lesh & Friends' CD "There And Back Again."
I'll tell you the same thing you told me when you were on the run
In the eve of your morning, the high, high noon of your night in the sun
A broken heart is a badge of honor, wear it with pride
Just when you think you're a goner you find
Somebody there willing to take your side
To prop up your soul like she did in the days of old
I've come a long way with you
A long, long way with you
Most of our dreams come true
Not all
I don't think they're supposed to do
A jammed up highway no time to lose, an endless red light
In the houses of night where the bulldogs purr and the alley cats bite
In the danger zone running with your own, you said to me my friend
It's good to be back again and again and again and again
Like there ain't never ever gonna be no end
No end, no, nothing like that at all
No applause in the empty hall
No, no curtain call
And the sky above so blue
I've come a long way with you
A long, long way with you
Most of our dreams come true
Not all
I don't think they're supposed to do
Now we're left with a stick and a ball
Twirling leaves at the end of the fall
Buckets of rain and a looking glass
Tickets for the boardwalk and an overnight pass
I've come a long way with you
A long long way with you
Come a long way with you
A long, long way
Most of our dreams come true
Not all
I don't think they're supposed to do
