Wishing You Were Home

                            Miss the times when we were younger

                            and the love we did invest

                            and of all the love I kicked around

                            I thought ours was the best.

                            But I was never there for you

                            and it drew us far from close.

                            I was in sales and tellin tales

                            and drinkin patron's toasts.

                            I showed no favor for your choice

                            and you spent your time alone,

                            now you're gone and time moves on

                            I know I did you wrong.



                            Chorus:

                            All the good times I could find

                            took me far away from you

                            and left you trapped inside

                            while I was seeking dues.

                            Now my lonely heart and mind

                            roam round this empty soul

                            and the lesson lingers overtime

                            and I'm wishin you were home.



                            I call you in the early morning

                            to draw the past to mind.

                            A brave new me, a change complete,

                            I offer to your mind.

                            You talk to me and my heart flips,

                            I beg you back again.

                            A concerned woman you see me

                            and I can't seem to win.

                            It's plain and simple who's to fault

                            and your worries shake me off

                            but you turn heartache into hoping

                            and I'm glad to hear you talk.



                            Chorus rep:



                            Through all the years you held my name

                            and stated your place with style

                            and in the stress you'd address

                            the absence of my smile.

                            But your hopes went sadly thin

                            I destroyed your cause.

                            I didn't see your needs then

                            I sought my own applause.

                            Your love finally turned to ice

                            it took a long long time.

                            Now I live with the sacrifice

                            of pushing you from my mind.



                            Bridge:

                            I remember our first home

                            a simple captured thrill.

                            and our driven dreams where the future gleams

                            with the needs that all must fill

                            and the late nights laying back

                            talking after love

                            and the fire there that burnt the air

                            was the flame of all first loves.



                            Now I've turned to other means

                            you say your heart wont mend.

                            So I push on into somewhere

                            and I call you now and then.

                            But when it's very late at night

                            and I turn to share your soul.

                            I cry softly to myself

                            while another plays your role.

                            So the good times ruined my time

                            and I know I'm still alone

                            beneath the scars I need your heart

                            and I'm wishin you were home.
