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 it's 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 it's 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
