verse 1
Yesterdays are faded gray
The mirrors never show
Within these walls are memories
of love I'll never know
Every year I celebrate your birthday all alone
Your pictures smile in every room
and shine in my first home

chorus
I know someday you'll find the truth
I'm waiting here alone for you
and everything I'll ever do
will bring you safely home
We share the moon above the sea
While we're apart I'll always be
the light beyond your darkest need
to guide you to your home

verse 2
You said you'd always live for me
We promised that we'd die
to live inside each other's hearts
in vows we made for life
Now every day I pray to see
the hands I used to hold
These timeless gifts are in your reach
and waiting in your home

chorus
I know someday you'll find the truth
I'm waiting here alone for you
and everything I'll ever do
will bring you safely home
We share the moon above the sea
While we're apart I'll always be
the light beyond your darkest need
to guide you to your home

bridge
There's emptiness in my first home
I crossed the threshold all alone
Across the fields that bear your name
I'm everything you own

chorus
I know someday you'll find the truth
I'm waiting here alone for you
and everything I'll ever do
will bring you safely home
We share the moon above the sea
While we're apart I'll always be
the light beyond your darkest need
to guide you to your home

(repeat chorus through fade out)
