Somewhere in the distant past
I saw a light shine in your soul
It flickered on, but now it’s off again
I’ve memorized the day when you were
Skipping stones across the sea
As you carried me on your back

It’s a lonely road
Wont you stay?
We can’t do this any other way

Tell me what you dream about
When no one is there to catch you smile
Is it something warm? Something delicate?
Your working hands feel quite like stone
But still seem soft and sensitive
When compared to your heart

There is nowhere left to run away

Father there is no one left
On this earth to impress
So please come back home
Twenty years have passed
Since I have heard you sing
That life is good
Now I’m losing hope
So please come back home
