Homecoming

In the Morning Light She Laid There in the Grass
She Was Till Dressed in Her White Homecoming Gown
I Helped Her Back to Her Room
She Was Cold Against My Shoulder
I Tried Not to Wake Her Up As I Laid Her Down
Then I Sat There and Watched Her Sleep For a While
I've Admired Her For So Long From Far Away
If I Could Hold Her in My Arms, Then Maybe She Could Love Me,
If I Could Only Find the Words That I Want to Say

Sullen Like a Dream That I Once Had
Made Me Feel Scared and Lonely
She'll Never Know How She Got Back
What Her Eyes Had Shown Me
And I Close the Door and Walk Away
I Close the Door and Walk Away...
But I Want to Stay...

The Leaves Below My Feet Crumbled At My Steps
And the Sun Has Risen Higher Than It Was Before
I Step Into My Car and I Drive For a While
I Can't Stand the Same Scenery Anymore

I Stop Along the Bridge, and I Close My Earthly Eyes
And I Wonder What This World Can Offer Me
Cars They Move Below Me and I Seem to Realize, and I Look
Up At the Sky and Call Her Name.

Chorus
