lyrics

I know it’s hard to be the one who’s waiting
I know it’s hard to be the one alone
And as the evening light is fading
I have many miles to go

I know she loves me like she loves
The lengthening shadows on the alien corn
I know she loves me like the exile
Loves the land where she was born

And if the stars should fail along the Angel Road
And if the light should pale and all the colours go
And if the storm should break before I make it home
She will be my rainbow

I know that I could find a cheap hotel
Help me make it through the night
Spare my eyes the blinding
Of these oncoming lights

But I would rather feel her fingers
As they brush against my arm
And I would rather plunge the darkness
Of her homecoming charms
