Homecoming

Give thanks to your mother, a flawless construction
You override every single instruction
I don't stand a chance if you might decide
To call me and tell me you're back in my life
I'll live on forever after I die
As electrical impulses inside your mind
And when I am older, from time to time
I'll look back and think I can't believe
You were once mine

And if our bare children, when they're grown
Tall enough to have a pair of their own
I'll tell all the grandkids about an old life
This street proceeding, a grey widowed wife
Your name is mentioned, right on the cusp
That lingers a feeling I kept just for us
Planted a cross on what's over and done
I'll look back and say I can't believe
True love is gone

I can't sleep, I'm dreaming of you
My heart goes round again

I'll open the darkness, face way round the bend
Beyond space and time for an alternate end
And I'll meet my maker, Eden is through
A God who has burned down the house of Oryu
My final inferno, to finish the round
Hell is my haven, a home for the sound
And when it is over, from time to time
Every atom will whisper for me
You were once mine
