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
