Mark Erelli - Almost Home lyrics

rate me

How many miles

Did we travel down that road

Searching all the while

For a place to call our own

So young and hypnotized

By the stars in our eyes

How could we have ever known

Almost home

We were almost home

How many times

Can you go on tempting fate

'Til it sends you a sign

You can't anticipate

Now the lesson is learned

Our love has turned

From a jewel into a stone

Almost home

We were almost home

Love never lasts

Like an old photograph

Where the colors slowly fade to shades of grey

Love is the place

Where you go when day is done

Love is in the face

Of the old and young

Love knows nothing of the wheel

Of aluminum and steel

Traveling down that gravel road

Almost home

We were almost home
