Everywhere I go
everything that I see
every sound that fills my head
brings it rushing back to me
You'd think by now I know
You'd think by now I'd understand
when this yearning shows it's face
I am nothing in it's hand
It takes me so far away
it hits me so close to home
It brings me to that place
that I covered long ago
When I see that child
when I'm captured by her stare
no matter where I may run
I cannot hide anywhere
I'm challenged by her past
I'm challenged by her memories
I'm challenged by these feelings
that have distanced her from me
It takes me so far away
it hits me so close to home
It brings me to that place
that I covered long ago
And if I turn away
soon it's at my side
as if to say "your time is flying by"
and I wonder if I'll ever
fall back to my old ways
I wonder if I'll ever
find peace in my days
It takes me so far away
it hits me so close to home
It brings me to that place
that I covered long ago
So far away ...
So close to home
To that place that I cover long ago.
