(Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm)
"He was lost at sea," the paper said
He set sail to never sail again
He was 20-something when he left
But after all the things he'd seen
He's older than his age suggests
"He was lost at heart," his mother said
He set sail to find his heart again
He wanted just a glimpse of life
But now he's gone and I'm not sure
He'll ever see the place he left to find
If you take the wind back home someday
I'd promise you don't have to stay, no
I'd just hold you in my arms and pray
You found yourself out in the waves
I won't tell you that you've gone too far
I'd just welcome you back home
(Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm) I'll hold you up
(Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm) I'll hold you up
(Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm) I'll hold you up, I'll hold you up
So, he washed up on some island then
That he'd seen before but never went
He was lonely and he missed his friends
But after, all the time it'd been
He didn't know if they'd still wait for him
Mama wait, I'll be back soon
But I need to know you'll be there too
There's not much sun that's shining through
But there's a path from me to you
It's dark, but I can start to see the view
If you take the wind back home someday
I'd promise you don't have to stay, no
I'd just hold you in my arms and pray
You found yourself out in the waves
I won't tell you that you've gone too far
I'd just welcome you back home
(Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm) I'll hold you up
(Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm) I'll hold you up
(Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm) I'll hold you up, I'll hold you up
(Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm) I'll hold you up
(Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm) I'll hold you up
(Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm) I'll hold you up, I'll hold you up
I won't tell you that you've gone too far
I'd just welcome you back home
