It was just becoming morning The shadows faded fast against the light
I could see your trepidation Against the hope that brightened in my eyes
It was just another journey Never too far from the comfort of your arms
Each return is shorter than the last Before I’m back out chasing stars
* I won’t run when I should be diving deep Let the current lay me down to sleep
When I’m gone away don’t weep for me For even a drowning sailor loves the sea
I’ve been left with naught but memories To give me company through the days
Being left at home can make one Think hard about the ways to run away
Even in my darkest moments I know we had no choice at all
Hoping from a distance That you’ll still answer when I call
Keep a light in the window for now When the stars hide behind clouds
And I won’t wander too far anymore You’re the compass that leads me to shore
