Homeward Bound

© Anne Sumner 2014

Would it comfort you my dear
If I’d been there, or you’d been here
All our love is homeward bound
And I will hold on, and hold out
I will hold on, and hold out

Never meant to leave you this way
Never meant to let go for more than just a single day
Nothing in the stars can say when I will see you again
Never meant to leave you to cry
Always want to be by your side
But it’s out of our hands
As if this was more than our love could withstand

Would it comfort you my dear
If I’d been there, or you’d been here
All our love is homeward bound
And I will hold on, and hold out
I will hold on, and hold out

So when you lay your head down tonight
Remember that you’re never alone, and try to keep in mind
No-one ever loved you as much as I love you right now
I know that it’s a lot to believe
But it won’t take forever and we’ve
Got our whole lives to live
And we’ve moved bigger mountains than this

Would it comfort you my dear
If I’d been there, or you’d been here
All our love is homeward bound
And I will hold on, and hold out
I will hold on, and hold out

Don’t be afraid I would
Never betray you and
One of these days I’ll be
Making my way home

Would it comfort you my dear
If I’d been there, or you’d been here
All our love is homeward bound
And I will hold on, and hold out
I will hold on, and hold out
