In my head I have a picture never changing
I can see it every time I close my eyes
This road's not gentle to a tender soul
Fractured and fragile, in my disguise
Oh will I ever make it home?
I can't be forever on the frontline
One more grey day slides away, all unknown
We can be together on a satellite
But in the end we always dream alone
Oh Alannah, can you hear me calling?
Endless lines of people at the station
Rushing there and rushing here, rushing there again
Hoping to find some kind of revelation
Staring through the window of the 8.15
All together, falling down, falling down
I see it clear now, we can do anything
Throw me a lifeline, just press re-wind
Give me your heart signed, it doesn't have to be this way
No more empty words or hesitation
You are my little rock, and I can't stay away
I see with breathless elation
The fire's still burning out across the bay
Oh Alannah, take me home
Take today, make a stand, it's in the lines on your hand
Make a wish, say a prayer, close your eyes and I'll be there
Let your new soul take flight, I'll be your guiding light
Wear your heart on your sleeve, just wait, just believe, I'm coming home
