Jon AndersonAbout
When Jon Anderson was growing up, he noted the exaggerated piety flouted by many in his church, which he found hypocritical.
He wrote this song about his frustration and confusion at the circular reasoning in his religious experience in general.

Long Distance Runaround Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Long distance runaround
Long time waiting to feel the sound
I still remember the dream there
I still remember the time you said goodbye
Did we really tell lies?
Letting in the sunshine
Did we really count to one hundred?
[Verse 2]
Cold summer listening
Hot colour melting the anger to stone
I still remember the dream there
I still remember the time you said goodbye
Did we really tell lies?
Letting in the sunshine
Did we really count to one hundred?
[Verse 3]
Long distance runaround
Long time waiting to feel the sound
I still remember the dream there
I still remember the time you said goodbye
[Verse 4]
Cold summer listening
Hot colour melting the anger to stone
I still remember the dream there
I still remember the time you said goodbye
Did we really tell lies?
Letting in the sunshine
Did we really count to one hundred?
Looking for the sunshine
