Returning Home

I’ll come for you soon
In the lights of the street
I promise you this
For once more we will meet.

The lights of the street
Showing houses, not land
And the distant old songs
Of the local folk band.

Take one last glance
At the silly old page
Of love meant for you
Now it’s 12 months of age.

When I get back home
And when I see you there
We’ll stand in the lights
Of the city so fair.

I know you’re still there
I remember your face
And I’ll look for that smile
In that self same old place.

It won’t happen again
Now that business is done
I promise you this
We’re together, we’re one.

Now the cottage is ready
And the stage is now set
We’ll escape from this life
And start again yet.

I know that you’re patient
I know you’re still there
You must still be waiting
I know that you care.

I’m so close to you once more
We shall not wait long
All I do is pray
That you’ve done me no wrong.
