Lyrics

In the yellow glow of street lamps,
three more steps to your front door,
And I know I shouldn't come here anymore.
But I can't help but think about the way things used to be
when we were here.

I've come home from a long time away
I've returned from a trip across the ocean
Soaring in, landing down, walking slowly through this town;
I've returned to an empty home again.

You said, "Come and I will be here,"
You said, "Lie upon my bed,"
I said, "Listen to the truth. Its in your head."
And though its been a long time,
You still whisper now and then.
But in your heart I know that I've grown quiet.

I've come home from a long time away
I've returned from a trip across the ocean
Soaring in, landing down, walking slowly through this town;
I've returned to an empty home again.

In the fiery glow of sunset
One more step to your front door.
Press my hands against it
Just to feel for warmth.
For a moment I can taste it,
Hey, there's a burning fire inside,
Until the sun dips down behind our horizon line.

I realize I came for naught
The heat I feel is not for real
Only sunlight by day
Lamplight by night
Only sun rays by day.

I've come home from a long time away
I've returned from a trip across the ocean
Soaring in, landing down, walking slowly through this town;
I've returned to an empty home
Your empty home, our empty home
I've come home to an empty home again.
