These roads are long enough without missing you These walls are high and tough but I’ma break right through I travelled far and wide but to be right by your side Chasing the scarlet sky to taste the morning due My soul, my heart, my mind alive with thoughts of you My restless wings take flight lead me right into your arms ‘Cus you are my high highs And I’m sick of them low low lows Yeah, you are my high highs And I’m sick of them low low lows I’m homebound, Love I’m late but on my way I I’m coming home to you I’m homebound, Love I’m late but on my way I I’m coming home to you Deep in the darkest night there’ll break a brand new day It’s carved into my bones, my lungs, they chant our fate Hold tight unto my love and know I’m on my way ‘Cus you are my high highs And I’m sick of them low low lows Yeah, you are my high highs And I’m sick of them low low lows I’m homebound, Love I’m late but on my way I I’m coming home to you I’m homebound, Love I’m late but on my way I I’m coming home to you High highs and I’m sick of the low low lows Yeah you are my high highs and Im sick of them low low lows Oh you are my high highs and I’m sick of them low low lows and so it goes I’m homebound, Love I’m late but on my way I I’m coming home to you I’m homebound, Love I’m late but on my way I I’m coming home to you I’m homebound, Love I’m late but on my way I I’m coming home to you I’m coming home I’m homebound Well I’m coming home I’m homebound Ya I’m coming home I’m homebound I’m homebound I’m homebound Mm Mm

Boy meets girl, a story told one million times and one But no one story is the same His heart he poured and then some more His father smiled and said ‘Surely love will make its way’ On a cloudless night they laid outside to witness summers kiss From soft brown eyes he heard her say ‘Love, it won’t be long till summers gone and I have to go again. Send me your kisses in the wind’ Oh there’s something in the air that comes alive when I’m with you I swear that falling never felt so sweet And I know in not too long you’ll be gone with summers passed And I, with a lifetime left to dream He married her one April morn in a small town gathering That dress of white near made him cry That night he swore his world was hers and kissed her tenderly Hand in hand they said their vows Oh there’s something in the air that comes alive when I’m with you I swear that falling never felt so sweet And I thought with not too long, you’d be gone with summers passed But now, here you’re standing next to me The nurse walked through with blankets blue and a sadness in her eye Said ‘Son, your boy is fine but I’m afraid Well, your wife, she took a turn and sadly now, she has moved on Life is sometimes hard and seldom fair’ ‘Amen’ he said He bowed his head ‘Some given and some gone With heavens ways you don’t ask why’ But as the crowd disperse a warm wind blows and whispers tenderly ‘Lover feel my kisses from the skies’ Oh there’s something in the air that comes alive when I’m with you I swear that falling never felt so sweet And I knew with not too long you’d be gone with summers passed And I, with a lifetime left to dream Oh there’s something in the air that comes alive when I’m with you I swear that falling never felt so sweet And I knew with not too long you’d be gone with summers passed Oh and I, with a lifetime left to dream
