lyrics

Well, if it all was just that easy
I would be there now
Collecting the stories of your history
Speaking for the ones who left no words

Off alone in my own little midnight train of thought
Yes, I would be there now
Face to face with all those homeless ambitions
Listening for the ones who came before

Find a focus for your heart to fix upon
My home has moved much more than I care to recall
And old folks are the only ones I know looking for a new day
While, remembering the ones that came before them

He married her because she asked him to
Or I would be there now
Hush my children your father's going to be back soon
He never was the kind to stay out long

And these walls will talk about a quiet, quiet home
Oh, and I would be there now
But, face to face we fight our homeless ambitions
And go looking for the ones who came before

Find a focus for your heart to fix upon
My home has moved much more than I care to recall
And old folks are the only ones I’ve found looking for a new day
While, remembering the ones that came before them

Across the boarder there lies a promised land
So, I'll be going now
Going to find a new tongue, I’ll find a whole new language
New words will be my world

‘Cause it’s easier to be a stranger when you're far away from home
So I'll be going now
Free at last to find my homeless ambitions
And go looking for the one's who came before
