The Long Wait

[Intro] The night hums low above the ground A quiet waits, a sacred sound... [Verse 1] Your bag by the door, your scent still near Like love that refuses to disappear First time our worlds aligned just right Now you’re carried off into borrowed flight Your name still warm on my waiting tongue Like something holy barely begun The ceiling listens as I breathe Learning how to wait, learning how to believe Somewhere above the clouded blue You’re folded into rows of two Lights dimmed low, a borrowed wing Carrying everything we mean They say distance tests what’s newly born Turns gentle faith into something worn But I felt the truth when you held my hand Some things don’t break when they’re barely planned So I stay right here, I don’t pretend This isn’t patience — it’s commitment Feet on the floor, heart held high Loving you while you touch the sky [Chorus] You’re coming home — I know it’s true Like stars returning into view No miles of sky, no metal wing Could steal the vow this moment brings I’ll keep the light where you left me standing A constant through your landing You said you’d come back — I believe That promise is what carries me [Verse 2] The clock moves slow in airport time Every minute feels like a sign Somewhere your window frames the night While I trace hope in the porch light If fear speaks up at cruising height If doubt drifts in beneath the light Remember how your fingers shook When love first caught us off the hook There’s faith in trust you can’t explain Like knowing where you’ll land again And every cloud you drift between Only proves what we both mean So fly through dark, through silver calm Through turbulence and quiet palms My heart’s not restless, not alone Because I know you’re coming home [Chorus] You’re coming home — I feel it near In every breath, in every tear No shadowed doubt, no endless sky Could make this vow say goodbye I’ll keep the warmth inside these walls Your name the echo when it calls You said you’d come back — I believe That promise is the air I breathe [instrumental break] [Bridge] When the wheels touch earth again The waiting turns to “now” from “when” Not relief — but something proved A love that stayed, a vow that moved [Final Chorus] You’re coming home — the night agrees The stars lean in, the air stills for me This isn’t hope that learned to roam It’s love that learned how to be home [Outro] So take the sky, let courage roam I’ll be right here when you come home The line I hold was never fear It’s love that stayed while you were here.
