Description
Love is described as a long, winding road with many rough spots. I believe love is where you arrive after countless waves and tides and storms have proven nothing can ever kill your patience. Love is the meeting place of the essential and the eventual... "The waiting is the hardest part"
Lyrics
I’ve been carrying this tune for a long, long, long time Lacking inspiration for the song, and adequate rhyme There’s a whole lot more road left to run There’s a whole lot more sea I must see It’s a great long way back to the moon For my honey and me Adrift on the lying wind wherever that whimsied wind leads Asleep, half at least, waiting to grow on her sympathies There’s a whole lot more road left to run There’s a whole lot more sea I must see It’s a great long way back to the moon For my honey and me Chorus: Like a slow boat to China Slow boat to China Studying mischief all the time Like a slow boat to China Trying to capture her mind A rambling man knows when he holds a vagabond hand His heart’s doomed to never settle down, nor well understand There’s a whole lot more road left to run There’s a whole lot more sea I must see It’s a great long way back to the moon For my honey and me She’s lost, counting costs, and she quests for peace and for rest She’s in love, I’m in love, we’re in pain; Eternity in stress We’ve a whole lot more road left to run There’s a whole lot more sea we must see It’s a great long way back to the moon For my honey and me
