Lyrics
Coming Home
Did you ever have the daybreak crash across your eyes
Hit you like the morning comes as a complete surprise
Did you ever see the wind blow the last leaf from a tree
Look into the eyes of someone quite as lost as me
I know that I?m coming home
I know that I?m coming home
Did you ever see an oak tree look up into the sky
Wonder when it?ll grow up, worry when it?ll die
Did you ever hear an old stone anchored on the shore
As the waves crashed down upon it scream, ?I can?t take it anymore?
And I know that I?m coming home
And I know that I?m coming home
Did you ever hear a mountain wail against the rain
In the cold and bitter winter, cry out in pain
Did you ever see a cold brook running between its mossy bank
Wonder where it?s going or not know who to thank
And I know that I?m coming home
And I know that I?m coming home
