When You Come Home

My heart is beating, the clock is ticking out your name, and I am keeping the light on for you,

Another sunrise, but your room is just an empty place,

I close my eyes, I see your face.

And, in the silence, I can hear sweet echoes of your voice so clear,

And, in my dreams, I hold you near when you come home.

Whoa, when you come home I'm gonna run to you,

Hold you to my heart the way I've wanted to,

Sing and dance all night just like we used to do, when you come home.

My heart is beating a million thoughts of love for you, and I am keeping a place for you,

The rain reminds me of your tears I've saved in a bottle all these years,

They'll all be diamonds for you here, when you come home.

Whoa, when you come home I'll keep you here to stay,

Follow my tears if you can't find the way,

I'll look out where the highway meets the sky each day 'til you come home.

You are the treasure of my heart, you are the longing of my soul,

I'll be waiting here for you until the angels bring...bring you home,

Bring you home, whoa.

When you come home I'm gonna run to you,

Hold you to my heart the way I've wanted to,

Sing and dance all night just like we used to do, when you come home,

When you come home I'll keep you here to stay,

Follow my tears if you can't find the way,

I'll look out where the highway meets the sky each day 'til you come home,

'Til you come home.

Follow my tears,

My tears.
