First Homecoming

I lost myself down the water road
I took myself to the ocean
Sure when I walk I'd be by myself
Shook from sleep by the motion
Of the breathing body beside my own
As the sun lengthens our shadows
In this new place I call my home
Where we bless the light when it comes

[Chorus]
I brought my music into this house
It had to happen sometime
I've lost the urge to be by myself
Through the short nights and the winter

Although the winter's long and cold
The roof is fastened on tightly
We'll feel it more as we get old
We can take it lightly
Ah you can't go wrong if you've built a team
But don't rely on it solely
Feels good to admire another's fire
When you don't rely on it wholly

[Chorus]
I brought my music into this house
It had to happen sometime
I've lost the urge to be by myself
Through the short nights and the winter
