When I left it was starting to rain
She was still fast asleep
I dream us away
I got on the plane to L.A
I know it's heart breaking
The time that I'm taking
The tears that you're crying
I know that you're dying
Cause I'm going away
And you know I can't take you with me
And timing can't stop today
But I hope that you'll wait for me
When I get back home, back home to you
I fall to my knees and pray
This world ain't gonna get down on me
I feel like I'm so far away
But I smile as I turn the page
My heart is falling
But My dream keeps calling
The life that I'm living
Is so unforgiving
Cause I'm going away
And you know I can't take you with me
And timing can't stop today
But I hope that you'll wait for me
When I get back home, back home to you
I've been away for so long
But I'll never do you wrong
Cause baby
I'm coming home
The tears that you're crying
I know that you're dying
Cause I'm going away
And you know I can't take you with me
And timing can't stop today
But I hope that you'll wait for me
Cause I'm going away
And you know I can't take you with me
And timing can't stop today
But I hope that you'll wait for me
When I get back home, back home to you
