Rachel Tulane - Return Lyrics

Seems ages since that day
You wished me dead
Trading in our bloodline
For the gold instead
Lined your pockets like
A beggar who had not been fed
You didn't even look
Behind you as you fled
I know the thrills of urban frills
Have you enthralled
Still I miss the sound
Of your footsteps down the hall
And if you find the time
To think of me at all
Know the thought of you
Still makes me smile
Oh how I yearn for your return
My love for you need not be earned
No matter how far
Your soles may have wandered
Here your belonging
Cannot be squandered
Oh it's never too late to return!
I see you basking in city lights
And new repute
Devouring the world while you
Distance from your roots
But if freedom ever
Leads you feeling destitute
The lamp at our front step still shines for you
Oh and while you're climbing towers
Reaching for home
Scouring every floor
For just one vacant throne
If revelry leaves you thirsty
And they all close their doors
Your favorite chair around our table
Is still yours
Oh how I yearn for your return
My love for you need not be earned
No matter how far
Your soles may have wandered
Here your belonging
Cannot be squandered
Oh it's never too late to return!
If your hands ever feel empty
My arms are open wide
And upon our hilltop
My welcome will abide
Although your back be turned I'm still on your side
I'm still on your side
And if you change your mind
My door remains ajar
No contingency on assets or merits or scars
Never mind where you've been-
All I see is where you are
And how I yearn for your return
My love for you need not be earned
No matter how far
Your soles may have wandered
Here your belonging
Cannot be squandered
Oh it's never too late to return!
