Homecoming

A week never seemed like a long time before
But the minutes string on through the day
It’s not like I didn’t think I wouldn’t miss you any more
But it’s been so long since you’ve been away

This daily grind sure wears me down
As the sun moves across this winter sky
I’ve been pacing the floor and watching the clock
Tomorrow night you’ll be by my side

I hope it’s been lovely the places that you’ve been
Mountains orchids beaches and tides
And I want to hear the stories of all the things you’ve seen
But most of all I want you here by my side

I hope that the trade winds blow you safely home tonight
From out there on that southern sea
I just want to hold you deep in my arms
Welcome you back home here with me

This daily grind sure wears me down
As the sun moves across this winter sky
I’ve been pacing the floor and watching the clock
Tomorrow night you’ll be by my side

I hope that the trade winds blow you safely home tonight
From out there on that southern sea
I just want to hold you deep in my arms
Welcome you back home here with me

Your homecoming is but hours away
As the sun slowly moves across this sky
I’ll keep pacing the floor and watching the clock.
Until I welcome you here by my side
