Peace be with you while you are here
Love be with you when you're on my way, my dear
There's no telling when I will be gone again
I was hanging on to every word
Tryin' to keep it simple, stacked in one, two, thirds,
Keep the thoughts of pain, 'bout the time spent away
Oh, everytime I go it hurts me so
So oh, oh, oh, hold tight my roots and ground me in our 
home
I will come on home to find you always
Drummin' fingers, pacing hallways
Trade it all in to spend the night with you in Kingston
Oh oh oh
Everytime I go it hurts me so,
So oh, oh, oh, hold tight my roots and ground me in our 
home
Fly the distance to rest with one more kiss
Show me with your hands all I have missed
Oh, what have I missed?
Oh, everytime I go it hurts me so
So oh, oh, oh, hold tight my roots and ground me in our 
home
Go on up to bed, I'll be right behind
You'll fall fast asleep, it will take more time
For me to fall in,
Hands restin' against your skin
