Lyrics
Verse1:
It was so long ago that you turned away. Many dreams have passed since you left that day. Now you're headed home for the holiday and you might stay. And I can only hope that you'll come my way so that I can say to you...
Chorus:
Come in my friend take a load off. Let's look back through the years because there's no more teardrops falling, so come rest with me once again.
Verse2:
It was so long ago that I said goodbye. And now I lay in bed and I don't know why. With both our hands we could touch the sky, but it went dry. We could have had the world but we never tried...and now you're back alive.
Chorus
Bridge:
We're all together in our innocence and it makes the guilty man go blind. Silently he sits among us and he'll watch the world pass him by.
