lyrics

i'm up here on the hill
with all your sisters still
and when they go away
alone up here i'll stay
the nights they're moving slow
a chair and radio
a pile of pages left/read
a pillow for my head

you're sent to be a man
somewhere out in the sand
in dark the winds'll blow
all burning broken slow
they promise me they're sure
just what they'll need you for
so comfort me my fears
and tell me that you'll

come back home
i've made a bed so warm for you
come back home
i'll sing a little song to you
come back home
as all of me will wait for you
come back home
there will always be a place for you

you've found another home
a place to call your own
the faces they will come
the faces they will go
and you will watch the lands/lens
and capture all you can
for you to find anew
and tell me that you'll

come back home
i've made a bed so warm for you
come back home
i'll sing a little song to you
come back home
as all of me will wait for you
come back home
there will always be a place for you

you've your whole life in front of you now
you've your whole life in front of you now
but i know a way you can make me live again
follow me, take my hand and you'll

come back home
i've made a bed so warm for you
come back home
i'll sing a little song to you
come back home
as all of me will wait for you
come back home
there will always be a place for you.
