Homecoming

In the morning light she laid there in the grass
she was till dressed in her white homecoming gown
i helped her back to her room
she was cold against my shoulder
i tried not to wake her up as i laid her down
then i sat there and watched her sleep for a while
i've admired her for so long from far away
if i could hold her in my arms, then maybe she could love me,
if i could only find the words that i want to say
Sullen like a dream that i once had
made me feel scared and lonely
she'll never know how she got back
what her eyes had shown me
and i close the door and walk away
i close the door and walk away...
but i want to stay...
The leaves below my feet crumbled at my steps
and the sun has risen higher than it was before
i step into my car and i drive for a while
i can't stand the same scenery anymore
I stop along the bridge, and i close my earthly eyes
and i wonder what this world can offer me
cars they move below me and i seem to realize, and i look
up at the sky and call her name.
Chorus
