I'll Race You Home - Graham Coxon

When you can't walk and there's chains 'round your soul The burden's too heavy and you've run out of road And you're praying out loud As you stumble through the rain and snow I'll walk out and find you, I'll carry you home When you can't speak 'cause the words are too strong And every time that you try, it just comes out all wrong When your heart's screaming out, but no one can hear your song Oh, I'll sing it for you, I'll carry you home I'll carry you home, I'll carry you home So rest your heart easy, I'll carry you home So wander this world now, fearless and free Climb every mountain and sail every sea But if you wander too far into the great unknown You know I will find you, I'll carry you home I'll carry you home, I'll carry you home So rest your heart easy, I'll carry you home I'll carry you home, I'll carry you home (I'll carry you home) So rest your heart easy, I'll carry you home Rest your heart easy, I'll carry you home

Wandering the road of desperate life Aimlessly beneath the barren sky Leave it to me, I'll lead you home So afraid that you will not be found It won't be long before your sun goes down Just leave it to me, I'll lead you home Hear me calling, hear me calling Just leave it to me, I'll lead you home A troubled mind and a doubter's heart You wonder how you ever got this far Leave it to me, I'll lead you home Vultures of darkness ate the crumbs you left And you got no way to retrace your steps Just leave it to me, I'll lead you home Hear me calling, hear me calling You're lost and alone Leave it to me, I'll lead you home Hear me calling, hear me calling You're lost and alone Leave it to me, I'll lead you home So let it go and turn it over to The one who chose to give his life for you Leave it to me, I'll lead you home So let it go and turn it over to The one who chose to give his life for you Just leave it to me, I'll lead you home Leave it to me, I'll lead you home Hear me calling, hear me calling You're lost and alone Leave it to me, I'll lead you home Hear me calling, hear me calling You're lost and alone Just leave it to me, I'll lead you home, yeah Hear me calling, hear me calling You're lost and alone Leave it to me, I'll lead you home, yeah Hear me calling, hear me calling You're lost and alone Leave it to me, I'll lead you home, Hear me calling, hear me calling

I'll get you home When you are tired Stand next to you When you're in the fire I'll get you home I'll tell the truth When I'd rather lie I'd rather be known Than keep it inside I'll get you home Never leave you alone And I will get you home If I could before The sorrows we'd see I'd love you again I'd feel everything I'll get you home Never leave you alone And I will get you home You will see a light If you get too far If you get too far from home You will see a light If you get too far If you get too far from home From home I'll get you home When you are tired

If I had my way girl, I'd never leave you for a minute But things don't always turn out the way we want them to So while I'm away now, I want you to remember How much I love you, I love you, I love you Let this love lift you up When you're feelin' blue Wherever I go I will be loving you Think of me when you see Places we once shared Whatever I do Someday I'll need you there Wherever I go Whatever I do I'll always come home I'll come home to you Even though we both know You're not in my arms Wherever I go You're always in my heart Just you ask, I'll come back Though we're miles apart Whatever I do I'll come to where you are Oh wherever I go Whatever I do I'll always come home I'll come home to you Oh wherever I go Whatever I do I'll always come home I'll come home to you Don't you worry darlin' Wherever I go Whatever I do I'll always come home I'll come home to you Don't you worry baby Wherever I go Whatever I do

I get a coordinator in a minute I'll take you home again, Kathleen Across the ocean wild and wide To where your heart has ever been Since first, you were my bonny bride The roses all have left your cheek I watch them fade away and die Your voice is soft when you speak And tears bedim your lovely eye Oh, I will take you home, Kathleen To where your heart shall feel no pain And when the fields are soft and green I will take you to your home, Kathleen

I see your face at bus stops and evergreens A fleeting glance where you have never been Now that the rain smudges the trees I'm left alone chasing the roaming star
