All your life you've waited there alone
The leaves turn in a flash from green to gold
Never once you thought to pick up your phone
You were too afraid to make it on your own away from home
Now your dreams turn to tears, holding on to what you thought you'd known
And you're too far away to hear, calling out your name to tell you
Please come back my dear
But it's a long way home
And all you seek has withered in the cold
Try hard as you might, you can't turn back the hands of time
You must move on, you must move on
Remember how we used to stand so tall
Now your house is cold and your thoughts sink in the walls
I know it hurts your pride and burns your heart
But your spirits haunted you right from the start
And all your colour turns to grey, holding on to words you can't escape
And you're too far away to hear, calling out your name to tell you
Please come back my dear
But it's a long way home
And all you seek has withered in the cold
Try hard as you might, you can't turn back the hands of time
You must move on, you must move on
It's a long way home
And oh, you're too far gone
Try hard as you might, they day will turn into the night
You must move on, You must move on
It's a long way home
And you are too far gone
Try hard as you might, they day will turn into the night
You must move on, You must move on
