Home is where your heart is forever yearning Hope bears the scars you're forever learning It's been years since you went away Not so far away You disappeared like my voice Amongst the crashing waves I call out and call out The gaslight is fading Where are you now? The light is out Give me something I can dream about Cause come the middle of the night When the restless go away There's never a goodbye Only heartache when you wake And I don't know How much more to take I've never missed you more Please come home Come home, Virginia Please write and tell us how you are Are you happy? Steal your eyes, for a second Be a part of a dying memory Be a sight for a mother's failing heart Make a wish come true Be a sight for sore eyes Still I call out and call out The gaslight is fading Where are you now? The light's out Give me something I can dream about Cause come the middle of the night When the restless go away There's never a goodbye Only heartache when you wake And I don't know How much more to take I've never missed you more So glad you're home Home, Virginia

She's a gambler spinning wheels The poisoned victim a look of steal The coldest heart you've ever felt The coldest hands you've ever held Ticking down on her way A million miles still no headway Has her love truly blown In her mind I'm proud to roam She's elusive I'm awake Defiantly real there's nothing fake A mystery now to me and you Open my eyes as I'm next to you She says my destiny lies in the hands that set me free A wreckless night she hears me breathe Cursing the skies of this company You've lost the wisdom deep inside Her bitterness shows its side If it's true I am doomed What more is there to hold on to A strand of hair is all I own A gift to me this sorry soul She's elusive I'm awake Defiantly real there's nothing fake A mystery now to me and you Open my eyes as I'm next to you She says my destiny lies in the hands that set me free Something says this ain't right There's more to her than meets the eye She comes and goes at any time Back in my head to another time She's elusive I'm awake Defiantly real there's nothing fake A mystery now to me and you Open my eyes as I'm next to you She says my destiny lies in the hands that set me free
