Homeland

Remember that summer

Down by the shoreline

I still can hear those old

Forgotten songs

And we made promises

To last forever

I just can't believe those

Days are gone

There used to be a place

That we could call our own

We used to think tomorrow

Was a long, long time

But sadness filled my heart

When I knew the moment had come

When I had to leave those days

Behind

I felt so free

Where I wanted to be

The days went so fast

How I wish they could last

So far from my homeland

I'm lost in time

My soul's still searchin'

For that peace of mind

Those sacred landscapes

Come miles around

And my heart's still beatin'

For those country grounds

Remember when our hearts

Were filled with laughter

It echoes in my trail

Of fallen tears

But no matter where I am today

Or what the future might bring

I will remember those

Long gone years

I can't let go

I wanna know

Does it have to end

For the best of friends

So far from my homeland

I'm lost in time

And my soul's still searchin'

For that peace of mind

Those sacred landscapes

Come miles around

And my heart's still beatin'

For those country grounds

Lord I know

That those days are gone

Long, long, gone

I felt so free

Where I wanted to be

The days went so fast

How I wish they could last
