Indigo Girls - Come A Long Way Lyrics
I've come a long wayI was a show on iceDazzling and brittleBut subject to the sunAnd then one dayI went little by littleBack to the waterThe place where I'd come fromAnd I went underLike stones tied in a sackAnd I got emptiedAnd started my way backMy nameIt's got your name on itMy shameIt's got your name on itMy homeIt's got your name on itEverything I ownAnd all my schemes drowned at the seamsHave left me fine in my own skinI've come a long wayJust to beginI've come a long wayUnder the cover of darknessTrusting a strangerA boatman at the shoreThe scourge of hopeThe ugly face of dangerThe keepers of the keysHad me down on my kneesIn front of the gilded doorsAnd in a world where every ax was poised to grindTo find my peace I only held up what was already mineMy nameIt's got your name on itMy shameIt's got your name on itMy homeIt's got your name on itEverything I ownAnd all my swords have turned to words that blow like poems in the windI've come a long wayI used to be twistedWhen you called it an opiateA simple way to copeAnd yet I think you shouldn't skip if you haven't worn the shoesThey start out tightAnd then they hurt your tired feet at nightBut then they give a little day by dayAnd then before you know itYou look back and you've come a long wayIt's got your name on itMy shameIt's got your name on itMy homeIt's got your name on itEverything I ownYou call my nameMy nameYou call my nameMy shameYou call my nameMy homeEverything I ownYou call my nameIf it's got my name, it's got your name on itEverything I own has got your name on itWhen I was trying to cross the riverYou were at the river getting me across and nowEverything, everything I ownHas got your name on itOh everythingI've got your name on it
