Lyric

Door clicks softly

Before the sun

You say goodbye

While we still sleep

Coffee is rising

Steam in the air

Morning already

Running too fast

Gravel yard waiting

Bare little feet

“Hold on — don’t move

Let’s take this one”

Same little pose

Finger on the cheek

Almost the same

Then we laugh again

For a moment

The morning holds

On the gravel yard

Everything holds

All the noise

Falls far away

One small picture

Lights the dark

And suddenly

I’m home again

Two little fingers

On their cheeks

Calling me

Back through the miles

Through every road

Through every day

That’s where my heart

Still runs to

Emails open

Numbers collide

Meetings stacking

Screens burning bright

Then in the corner

A photo appears

Two crooked smiles

Bright as the sun

Miles away

I feel it clear

They laughed today

And I missed it

Door opens slow

Keys hit the floor

“Daddy’s home!”

A running storm

In the doorway

Time lets go

On the gravel yard

Everything holds

All the weight

Falls from my mind

Two little fingers

On their cheeks

Calling me

Home tonight

Through every mile

Through every night

Through every road

I’ve ever run

One small picture

Breaks the dark

And brings my heart

Back home

Nothing special

Stones and sky

Wind in the trees

Late afternoon

A camera flash

Two crooked smiles

Gravel shining

In the sun

On the gravel yard

Everything holds

Time slows down

In golden light

Two little fingers

On their cheeks

Calling me

Home tonight

Through every mile

Through every road

Through every storm

I’m running through

One small picture

In the dark

And suddenly

The yard returns

Where my heart runs

Where my life runs

Always back

To you
