Lyrics
I am waiting, anticipating just to see you
Until that time, you'll be on my mind
Come home soon
I am a lonely man
Doing the best he can
Take me back down, lay me in the ground
Down where you lay
I've kept your things, your hopes and your dreams
Right here, safe
Take me home
Where I belong
Take me home
In your arms
When we were young, I wrote you a song
I named it your name
You drew pictures of flowers that withered
You sang along
I am a lonely man
Doing the best he can
You made me swear on my truth on your dare
You played a fool
But love we made we played no games
That love was true
Take me home
Where I belong
Take me home
In your arms
