I know you're gone
I watched you leave
I always thought
That it was me
You made it clear
With that last kiss
You couldn't live a life
With maybe's and what if's
When every boat
Has sailed away
And every path
Is marked and paved
When every road
Has had its say
Then I'll be
bringing you back home
to stay
I have the cards
you sent to me
You wrote of trains
and Paris galleries
This spring you'll draw
Canals and frescoed walls
Look how far
your dreaming's gone
When every town
looks just the same
When every choice
gets hard to make
When every map
is put away
Then I'll be
bringing you back home
to stay
And now I know
why you had to go alone
Isn't there a place between
When every boat
Has sailed away
And every path
Is marked and paved
When every road
Has had its say
Then I'll be
bringing you back home
to stay
Reach out to me
Call out my name
And I would bring you
back again today
