Gone is the last stain of ink from the sky   Somebody's talkin' and I won't tell you why   So you ask them to stay, when you want them to fly   And you try not to think of tomorrow's goodbye      (Hometime)   (Hometime)   Oh, how I long to see a friend of mine!   Somewhere, he's still waiting   Somewhere, his heart's saying   "She will be coming for me, she'll be coming for me"      (Hometime)   Hometime   (Hometime)   Oh hometime   I'll know his name and he'll remember mine   Let him be just for me   Let him be poetry   Wait for me patiently   Wait for me      Gone is the last stain of ink from the sky   Somebody's talkin' and I won't tell you why   So you ask them to stay, when you want them to fly   And you try not to think of tomorrow's goodbye      (Hometime)   Hometime   (Hometime)   Oh hometime   Oh, how I long to see a friend of mine!   Somewhere, he's still waiting   Watching the door for if she, she'll be calling   It's me   And this morning   It's me
