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
