Prodigal Daughter (Not Alone)

The day you left me on a plane Swore you'd call me everyday Days and weeks they turned to years Our memories like souvenirs Today you called me on the phone - you're coming home Where'd you go and how've you been Small talk for five or ten Sensed a quiver in your voice Said you felt you had no choice Said you felt so all alone You're not alone by a long shot Tomorrow get back on that plane Everything won't be the same Time's a thief that steals our youth But even time can't change the truth I have loved you everyday - you've been away Come and join me by the fire Bring your failures your desires We can talk into the night Yeah, we can hold each other tight Hear my words and know their true You're not alone by a long shot You'll grow older so will I Same old soul, but new disguise Your beliefs will shift and change New ideas with different names You'll get so high, you'll feel so low as you grow So stay a week, a month, a year And if you need to disappear Take my love it travels well If you fall let it find you where you fell Just remember as you go You're not alone by a long shot
