A song to come home to

Midnight falls over me, coming down like water.
Midnight falls over me, coming down like water.
Throwing these ashes out to the sea,
And it's taking so long.
Breaking these bones, breaking these bones,
Won't grow old.
It only hurts when you're gone.

If you look for me, I'm never at home,
If I ever call, you're never alone
And if there's nothing left for me to do,
I'll write a song for you to come home to.
Don't dig my grave 'till I'm gone.
They may be words you heard me say before,
But this time I hope they mean more,
In a song

Midnight falls over me,
I see the moon in your eyes
Just be here, just breathe,
Just stay to see the sunrise
You may turn away, but I understand,
Though we never touch, I'm holding your hand

And if there's nothing left for me to do,
I'll write a song for you to come home to
Don't dig my grave 'till I'm gone
They may be words you heard me say before,
But this time I hope they mean more,
In a song
So what good are the tears for?
Will they bring you back to my door?
What good at are the tears for,
When you're half a world away?

This isn't what I left for,
I can feel my heart beating me,
So what good are the tears for,
When you're lonely?
And if there's nothing left for me to do,
You're like a song for me to come home to
Don't dig my grave 'till I'm gone
There may be many men who came before,
I wanna let you know you've meant more,
In a song

And if there's nothing left for me to do,
I'll write a song for you to come home to
Don't dig my grave 'till I'm gone
They may be words you heard me say before,
But this time I hope they mean more,
In a song
