Everything But The Girl
Gabriel
[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
But Gabriel, wherever you roam
You know the longest way around is the shortest way home

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
