Long way home / Anna K. Eaves

Well I, have taken the long way home

To see if the fields have grown, to see

If you are still alright

‘Cause I, am running away from you

Away from all you do and I,

I don’t know where to hide

And I, I think that I love you more,

Since you opened up the door

And took a step outside

And I, am walking down the lane

To see if time and pain and I

Will ever meet again

‘Cause I, have taken the long way home

To see if the fields have grown, to see

If you are still alright

And I, I think that I love you more,

Since you opened up the door

And took a step inside

And I, am walking down the lane

To see if time and pain and I

Will ever meet again

‘Cause I, am running away from you

Away from all you do and I,

I don’t know where to hide, hide

And I, I think that I love you more,

Since you opened up the door

And took a step outside (inside)

The original draft recording of this song, played on the piano and sung by Anna herself, was found on the studio's computer, preciously conserved.

This recording was made with the complicity of Stéphane Novak on Thursday, 15th July 2005, at 11:52! Less than 2 years before Anna's stroke...

Today we share with you this real treasure, which has never been played or distributed.

The song has been arranged and produced by Olja Dešić, following a style which Anna adores (Sarah McLachlan, Rumer, Norah Jones...)
