Allan Wilson - Now You Are Homeward Bound Lyrics

And she was coming on the night train from November
When the coming summer brought her to our
Dark water and bright sky

And she was rolling down the steel rails
Rocking gently in the night
Does she dream of what she left here?
Come on hold on tight

Oh my first love you are
Coming home to me I know
Singing tuis Pohutakawa flowers
Shine red all around

You are so lovely
I remember kissing you lying on the ground
I've waiting slowly with the rainfall
Now you are homeward bound

When we were young I saw you
Sitting by the water side
The waves drifting in from the Pacific
Running barefoot in the tide

Oh and I watched you growing
The sun light in your shining hair
Till the day that you upped and left us
Leaving me with just one prayer
