[Lyric] Weve Come A Long Way (Tommy Makem & Liam Clancy)

[Verse 1]
We've come a long way since we last shook hands
We’ve still got a long way to go
We couldn't see the flowers when we last shook hands
We couldn't see the flowers on account of the snow

[Verse 2]
What did you do with you burden and your cross
Did you carry it alone or did you crack
We both know that a burden and a cross
Can only be carried on one man’s back

[Verse 3]
All my life I wanted to roam
To go to the ends of the Earth
But Earth really ends where you started to roam
And you and I know what a circle is worth

[Verse 4]
Let's drink a cup to what went down
There's not much left to reveal
I think I changed my mind aftеr what went down
As to who in the end got thе better deal
[Verse 5]
So give me your hand for the parting touch
Fare thee well, thanks a lot
I know that we promised to keep in touch
But you and I know that we both forgot

[Refrain]
We've come a long way since we last shook hands
We've still got a long way to go
We couldn't see the flowers when we last shook hands
We couldn't see the flowers on account of the snow
