Return

Seems ages since that day You wished me dead Trading in our bloodline For the gold instead Lined your pockets like A beggar who had not been fed You didn't even look Behind you as you fled I know the thrills of urban frills Have you enthralled Still I miss the sound Of your footsteps down the hall And if you find the time To think of me at all Know the thought of you Still makes me smile Oh how I yearn for your return My love for you need not be earned No matter how far Your soles may have wandered Here your belonging Cannot be squandered Oh it's never too late to return! I see you basking in city lights And new repute Devouring the world while you Distance from your roots But if freedom ever Leads you feeling destitute The lamp at our front step still shines for you Oh and while you're climbing towers Reaching for home Scouring every floor For just one vacant throne If revelry leaves you thirsty And they all close their doors Your favorite chair around our table Is still yours Oh how I yearn for your return My love for you need not be earned No matter how far Your soles may have wandered Here your belonging Cannot be squandered Oh it's never too late to return! If your hands ever feel empty My arms are open wide And upon our hilltop My welcome will abide Although your back be turned I'm still on your side I'm still on your side And if you change your mind My door remains ajar No contingency on assets or merits or scars Never mind where you've been— All I see is where you are And how I yearn for your return My love for you need not be earned No matter how far Your soles may have wandered Here your belonging Cannot be squandered Oh it's never too late to return!
