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 whatif´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
