Can you hear what I've been thinkin'?
Do you hear my words out loud?
'Cause there's an echo that's insistent,
Why doesn't the phone ring out now?
But when it does it rings, no question, but when it don't I wonder why,
Baby got somewhere you can reach me on this dark and lonely night.
Oooohhhh, what a faith to arise... yeah
Feel that look in your eyes
You know I'll be thinkin' we'll be bringin' that
Time and place in your mind,
And you need a lesson to hang on too,
Feel what it is that's alive
And you know that it's only one more day,
That I'm gonna be this far away,
And now I'm sitting here on this phone, I've run out of things to say...
Except it's gonna feel good to get back home,
How it's gonna feel good to just get back home
I've been out here stretchin' on my own,
Whoa, it's gonna feel good to just get back home
I take a plane out in the morning
Puts me in tomorrow night
I got something I want to say to you
On the hours that I lose in this flight
There's a beauty about London, though the rain's still pouring down,
It only makes me thinking of breakin', so the night wakes, and breaks and shakes the ground.
And oohhhh... what a faith to arise, yeah
See that look in your eyes
You know you'll be thinkin', you'll be singin' 'bout that time and place in your mind,
The sun and you let them grow on to
Be what it is that's alive
You know that time, she's a passer of everyday
Know what it is... no one you can save
Just write your name in the sky, with the curve of the earth of night.
Baby it's the end of the turn, I can see the reflection in your eyes,
Just how it's gonna feel good to get back home
Oooh it's gonna feel good just to get back home
I been out here stretchin' on my own
And now it's gonna feel good just to get back home
