going home

they say there's a place where dreams have all gone

they never said where

but i think i know

it's miles through the night just over the dawn

on the road that will take me home

i know in my bones

i've been here before

the ground feels the same

though the land's been torn

i've a long way to go

the stars tell me so

on this road that will take me home

love waits for me round the bend

leads me endlessly on

surely sorrows shall find their end

and all our troubles will be gone

and i know what i've lost

and all that i've won

when the road finally takes me home

and when i pass by

don't lead me astray

don't try and stop me

don't stand in my way

i'm bound for the hills where the cool waters flow

on the road that will take me home

love waits for me round the bend

leads me endlessly on

surely sorrows shall find their end

and all our troubles will be gone

and i know what i've lost and all that i've won

when the road finally takes me home

i'm going home

i'm going home

i'm going home
