Jeff And Maya Bohnhoff - When You Come Home lyrics

You have burned your candle To waxy pools and smoke. But you will find your fire when you come home. You never made a promise No word you ever broke But I will hold you tight when you come home. Far from all desire You made a pillow of hard stones But I'll wrap you in soft blankets when you come home. Aching and breaking Solitude is all you own. But you'll sleep among the gra**es when you come home. You have tasted water From emerald pools so clear. Bathed in silver radiance Of the mist that gathered near. You fought the lonely battle, Until your spirit broke. Your eyes told me your story Before you ever spoke. Battle scarred and rattled By all things you've lost. But you will be renewed when you come home. Duty once called And now you grapple with the cost. But all debts will be forgiven when you come home. As you traveled farther The land withered down to brown. You dined on husks and promises. Wore your sorrow like a crown. You fought the lonely battle Until your spirit broke. Your eyes told me your story Before you ever spoke. You will find your fire. I will hold you tight. I'll wrap you in soft blankets. You'll sleep among the gra**es. You will be renewed. All debts will be forgiven. When you come home.
