Mark Erelli - Almost Home lyrics

(Mark Erelli) How many miles Did we travel down that road Searching all the while For a place to call our own So young and hypnotized By the stars in our eyes How could we have ever known Almost home We were almost home How many times Can you go on tempting fate 'Til it sends you a sign You can't anticipate Now the lesson is learned Our love has turned >From a j**el into a stone Almost home We were almost home Love never lasts Like an old photograph Where the colors slowly fade to shades of grey
