Emerald City

Homeward bound

A sunrise catches my eye

And for a moment you're not there

Remain forever on my shoulders

That's a weight I choose to bear

I've seen stone and wood from far and wide

That only stands in peoples dreams

There's been a temptress hand

From time to time

But in my heart of hearts

I know my true calling

Even though I'm away

I'll be home shortly

Just know that day to day

I still think of you fondly

Homeward bound

A sunrise catches my eye

And for a moment you're not there

Remain forever on my shoulders

That's a weight I choose to bear

While others feel a sickness

That eats them alive

Anticipation fills my heart

And the panic in my chest subsides

Homeward bound

While I don't get to see you

While we're apart

Across the land or the sea

You'll always be in my heart
