Gabriel - Everything But The Girl

Gabriel, wherever you roam

You know the longest way around is the shortest way home

Gabriel, wherever you go

You know the longest way around is the shortest way home

When you were here there was a beating of wings

In your heart doing senseless things

When you were here there was a forest fire

Raging in you like a wild desire

But Gabriel, wherever you roam

You know the longest way around is the shortest way home

Everything you did only skimmed the surface of the day

And deep inside there was an emptiness that would not go away

Gabriel

Gabriel (Yeah)

Gabriel

When you were here there was a forest fire

Raging in you like a wild desire

When you were here there was a beating of wings

In your heart doing senseless things

But Gabriel, wherever you roam

You know the longest way around is the shortest way home (Yeah)

The longest way around is the shortest way home

The shortest way home

Gabriel
