Lyric

Midnight at the station, summer on the rails

A distant storm turns silver in the fields

I carry your last letter folded in my coat

Every word a compass, every line a road

I hear the mountains breathing

I feel the river rise

Somewhere in the thunder

You’re calling through the night

The road remembers, the road remembers

Every promise written in the dust

When the world is wide and the night is endless

I will follow what remains of us

Beyond the fire, beyond the weather

Under one unbroken sky

The road remembers, the road remembers

And it leads me home tonight

Morning finds the rooftops burning into gold

Children chase their shadows down the winding road

I don’t know the language, still I understand

Hope can cross a border, love can cross the land

I hear the city waking

A rhythm in the ground

Every step is saying

What was lost can still be found

The road remembers, the road remembers

Every promise written in the dust

When the world is wide and the night is endless

I will follow what remains of us

Beyond the fire, beyond the weather

Under one unbroken sky

The road remembers, the road remembers

And it leads me home tonight

If the stars go dark above me

If the signs all disappear

I’ll listen to the silence

I know your voice is near

No ocean can erase us

No distance can decide

The road that took me from you

Will bring me to your side

The road remembers, the road remembers

Every promise written in the dust

When the world is wide and the night is ending

I can see the dawn ahead of us

Beyond the fire, beyond the weather

Under one unbroken sky

The road remembers, the road remembers

And it brings me home tonight

The road remembers, the road remembers

Every mile and every scar

Through the silence, through the darkness

I will find you where you are

Home tonight, home tonight

The road remembers

Home tonight, home tonight

I’m coming home
