Home is where your heart is forever yearning
Hope bears the scars you're forever learning
It's been years since you went away
Not so far away
You disappeared like my voice
Amongst the crashing waves
I call out and call out
The gaslight is fading
Where are you now?
The light's out
Give me something I can dream about
'Cause come the middle of the night
When the restless go away
There's never a goodbye
Only heartache when you wake
And I don't know
How much more to take
I've never missed you more
Please come home
Home, Virginia
Please write and tell us how you are
Are you happy?
Steal your eyes for a second,
Be a part of my dying memory
Be a sigh for a mother's failing heart
Make a wish come true
Be a sight for sore eyes
Still I call out and call out
The gaslight is fading
Where are you now?
The light's out
Give me something I can dream about
'Cause come the middle of the night
When the restless go away
There's never a goodbye
Only heartache when you wake
And I don't know
How much more to take
I've never missed you more
So glad you're home
Home, Virginia
