Meaghan Blanchard has the beautiful country music voice but does a great job with this impressionistic pop groove.

Lyrics

Half a dozen roses lying scattered in the street
looks like someone turned and walked away
seems a shame to waste them, I’ll give them to the first one that I meet
do a good deed for this day

I’ll take the long way home

Making for the island, into the wind, into the waves
everybody bend their backs and row
the water’s freezing over, my friends are drunk and acting brave
singing out the songs that Jesus wrote

Let’s take the long way home
we’ll take the long way home

All around the island there are places
where you imagine you could hide
deserted beaches you can separate from time
and shift from shore to sea to sky

Sleeping in the shadows, I wake up when I hear my name
in the middle of the afternoon
a ribbon on a tree trunk, broken branches on a bush
looks like someone blazed me a trail

Must be the long way home
let’s take the long way home
we’ll take the long way home
