"Homeward Bound" lyrics

Every time I close my eyes I'm walking west along that river shore
Searching for the innocence I knew back when I was there before

And I still smell the blossom on the breeze where all the hawthorn trees had grown
Holding tight to handlebars as it got dark, and we were racing home

Homeward-bound, and not far left to go
That far away horizon never taught me anything I didn't know
Homeward-bound, and not far left to go
Homeward-bound, and not far left to go

Long days in the summertime, just spending every hour as we'd choose
Foreign wars and credit scores were nothing but distractions on the news

Didn't know a thing about what lay beyond the mountains far away
Shortcuts through the fields and over fences in the last light of the day

Homeward-bound, and not far left to go
That far away horizon never taught me anything I didn't know
Homeward-bound, and not far left to go
Homeward-bound, and not far left to go

Homeward-bound, and not far left to go
That far away horizon never taught me anything I didn't know
Homeward-bound, and not far left to go
Homeward-bound, and not far left to go

Sun beats through the window pane, it's just another autumn afternoon
But the roses on the table now are not as red as they were back in June

It helps me when I think that all the love you gave is etched upon my mind
And everywhere I go I know you're watching on a couple steps behind

Homeward-bound, and not far left to go
That far away horizon never taught me anything I didn't know
Homeward-bound, and not far left to go
Homeward-bound, and not far left to-

Homeward-bound, and not far left to go
That far away horizon never taught me anything I didn't know
Homeward-bound, and not far left to go
Homeward-bound, and not far left to go
Homeward-bound, and not far left to go
