Waking light; had a restful sleep last night
Coffee's slow, we've got a long, long way to go
before the next place we should be.
Morning sun; dancing on the sill, it's fun
Traffic's fine, and above there is a sign
that tells the place where we'll soon be.
Taking the long way there, my eyes can rest on sleeping lands
The road that I'm on runs all the way to Bielefeld.
Taking the long way there, my eyes can see what you've beheld
The road that I'm on runs all the way to Bielefeld
Trucks and vans and lakes and dams...grass and fields as far as I can see
Midday clouds; traffic's getting much too loud
Far from home in a van that we don't own
And hours go by and still we're not there.
Taking the long way there, my eyes can rest on sleeping lands
The road that I'm on runs all the way to Bielefeld.
Taking the long way there, my eyes can see what you've beheld
The road that I'm on runs all the way to Bielefeld
Afternoon; it will be colder very soon
Looks like rain, and we've missed a turn again
Why did I leave my home to go...
Taking the long way there, my eyes can rest on sleeping lands
The road that I'm on runs all the way to Bielefeld.
Taking the long way there, my eyes can see what you've beheld
The road that I'm on runs all the way to Bielefeld
Darkest night; will we ever see some light?
Find a phone; it's snowing on the autobahn
The road still leads on endlessly
Taking the long way there, my eyes can rest on sleeping lands
The road that I'm on runs all the way to Bielefeld.
Taking the long way there, my eyes can see what you've beheld
The road that I'm on runs all the way to Bielefeld
Taking the long way there, my eyes can rest on sleeping lands
The road that I'm on runs all the way to Bielefeld.
