All the Way Home

[Verse 1]
A rope is slapping a flagpole
In the dark and driving snow
Four hundred miles behind me now
Four hundred more to go

[Verse 2]
Lately I've been flowing past the world
Like time flows past a life
I've been looking at the faces
At the joy and the strife

[Chorus]
We come to pass
Not to stay
All that matters anyway
Is what will follow you
What will follow you
What will follow you
All the way home

[Verse 3]
I throw a switch, the kitchen floods with light
She comes bounding out of bed
In just an hour we will fall into the night
That flagpole still slapping in my head

[Verse 4]
With all of this at the table life is sweet
Who will deny?
Forgive me if I'm mesmеrized
By the sound of time flowing by

[Chorus]
Wе come to pass
Not to stay
All that matters anyway
Is what will follow you
What will follow you
What will follow you
All the way home
All the way home
