Peace be with you while you are here Love be with you when you're on my way, my dear There's no telling when I will be gone again I was hanging on to every word Tryin' to keep it simple, stacked in one, two, thirds Keep the thoughts of pain, 'bout the time spent away Oh, everytime I go it hurts me so So oh, oh, oh, hold tight my roots and ground me in our home I will come on home to find you always Drummin' fingers, pacing hallways Trade it all in to spend the night with you in Kingston Oh oh oh Everytime I go it hurts me so So oh, oh, oh, hold tight my roots and ground me in our home Fly the distance to rest with one more kiss Show me with your hands all I have missed Oh, what have I missed? Oh, everytime I go it hurts me so So oh, oh, oh, hold tight my roots and ground me in our home Go on up to bed, I'll be right behind You'll fall fast asleep, it will take more time For me to fall in Hands restin' against your skin
