Lyrics
I went walking on the beach alone,
And found our footsteps in a row.
Heading to places we used to go.
Back when this was home.
I drove down Main Street today,
And saw all the shops had gone away.
Not that we went anyway.
Back when this was home.
And though our kingdom burns,
I'll be here when you return.
And still the earth turns.
I'll be here when you return.
I passed by your house tonight,
And saw the light on shining bright.
I found it was a welcome sight.
Back when this was home.
And though our kingdom burns,
I'll be here when you return.
And still the earth turns.
I'll be here when you return.
