[Intro: single acoustic guitar, room tone] [Verse 1] Somewhere over the ocean They're closing the doors Welcome aboard And the cabin goes quiet Too early to leave But nothing in this house will sit still [Verse 2] Wonder what you're listening to up there That song of mine you kept Or the one you handed me All those years ago The one about a man Who couldn't say he was sorry [Pre-Chorus] Drive out Or take the SkyTrain Either way It's too long to wait [Chorus] Snow like this, they say it never comes On the road, on the rails, on the roof Your boots are by the door Going in the back seat tonight Told myself I wouldn't cry That was never going to hold [Verse 3] Six hours out The coffee's gone cold Wiping down a windshield That was already clean Every clock in this house Is a liar [Pre-Chorus] Then the board says landed And there's no time at all [Chorus] Snow like this, they say it never comes On the road, on the rails, on the roof Your boots are by the door Going in the back seat tonight Told myself I wouldn't cry That was never going to hold [Bridge: vocal almost spoken, guitar drops out] All this time It looked like waiting Like I was the one holding on But every mile of it You were coming toward me Every single day You were coming home [Final Chorus: bass and brushes enter, harmonies finally open] And there you are Walking out of all that light After all this time You still find me in a crowd Sit down here Give me your foot Let me get these on you first Then we walk out into the snow We're finally here [Outro: guitar alone, long decay] Welcome home
