The Fastest Way Back Home

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I should have seen you were coming, I should have been prepared After all, getting half of what you wish for isn't so rare But still I wasn't ready, you took me by surprise You brought a light to dark like a word from the wise [Pre-Chorus 1] Weather wears the mountains right down into the sea So I will stand in the rain until I am clean [Verse 2] We fell in love in the summer, when the skies were clear But I'm still wearing my coat from winter last year I need to set my house in order, confess and cover my sins I need to make a home for you before inviting you in [Pre-Chorus 2] Weather wears the mountains right down into the sea So I will stand in the rain until I am clean Rivers carve the country, a landscape shaped by a stream So I will swim in the river for as long as you need [Chorus] I say darling, oh my darling, you know that everything that I do Is to try to make me good enough for you Darling, oh my darling, you know that everywhere that I go I'm just trying to find the fastest way back home Back Home! Back Home! [Outro] Darling, oh my darling, you know that everywhere that I go I'm just trying to find the fastest way back home
