Distance can deepen your appreciation I think it makes your heart forgetful Sometimes I wonder what we do this for But I can feel you sitting in the side seat I can hear you whispering against my cheek Hotel beds get big and wide I can see me coming home to you I can see me walking real slow and sure I can see me coming home to you Coming home I've always been like so much running water Smoothed your heart like stones in the riverbed But sometimes I don't know my own heart and head You are also restless and moving You are crossing another state line You say that you love me, but it's been a long long time I can see me coming home to you I can see me walking real slow and sure I can see me coming home to you Coming home, coming home to you I've got hours to go, just me and my radio With my hands filled with time I've got a hungry mind to know know it and to know you Making peace with the past and the things that we've come to learn it like we've earned it To live after a fashion a with some kind of passion It's another love song that I don't have an end for Another way of saying I hope this whole thing works out again But I've always kept a part of my heart free And that's the part you've been asking of me I can see me coming home to you I can see me walking real slow and sure I can see me coming home to you Coming home coming home to you.
