coming home to you

there's a place in the mountains
just out of reach of the snow
a place where I can get lost
and no one will ever know
that's where I'm off to
that's where I'll run
coming home to you

there's a shade tree in the valley
guards from the desert sun
just outside your door there
we can swing just for fun
that's where I'm off to
that's where I'll run
coming home to you
you've got me wishing I could play with time
always hoping I can drink that wine
of your smiling eyes
make it last this time
in that place
i've always dreamed of
there's a place along the border
in the shadow of the fence
where sinners find redemption
and a timely recompense
that's where I'm off to
that's where I'll run
coming home to you

there's a place down near the ocean
a rocky point along the sea
where they all go for their fun
i'll find mine when you're with me
that's where I'm off to
that's where I'll run
coming home to you
you've got me wishing I could play with time
always hoping I can drink that wine
of your smiling eyes
make it last this time
in that place
i've always dreamed of
There's a place up along the ridge
where the river runs cold and black
and once you've been there
I know you're never coming back
that's where I'm off to
that's where I'll run
coming home
home alone
but i wanna come home
let me come home, home to you
