Elegy

[Verse 1]
The water rushes against my front side
It's coming up towards high tide
I'll hold you steady while I can
While I still can
But you never know what'll come tonight
And Heaven knows I'm in its lights
I'm the ticking clock, the set alarm
That you've so long relied upon

[Pre-Chorus]
Just stay right where you are
Just stay right where you are

[Chorus]
Whoa, just come on home!
Just come on home!
Home!
Whoa, just come on home!
Just come on home!
Home!

[Verse 2]
And the daylight is growing scarce
But sunshine is in my head
And I'll shine it
I'll shine it
Everywhere I go
I can hear the angels calling me
And my father's voice across the sea
The words float in on wisps of wind
They settle and they start again

[Pre-Chorus]
They say, "Stay right where you are
Just stay right where you are."

[Chorus]
Whoa, just come on home!
Just come on home!
Home!
Whoa, just come on home!
Just come on home!
Home!

[Verse 3]
Stay right where you are my dear
Won't you watch me walk right off this pier
And go on and on up to the sun?
We'll leave all things behind!
Just follow me, you're doing good!
Just don't step out of time!

[Bridge]
Down to, down to the watershed
Down past the river bed
Where we used to wonder what lay beyond here
And out past, out past the signals sent
Sent by the scientists from the largest satellite dishes

[Chorus]
Whoa, just come on home!
Just come on home!
Home!
Whoa, just come on home!
Just come on home!
Home!
