[Verse 1] The porch light's on for you, shining bright Reaching out into the night You're waking up across the sea While midnight settles over me I check the clock, I trace the time Wishing your hand was held in mine Safe at home with me [Pre-Chorus] The distance is wide, the ocean deep Tears trace my face that you can't see I know the days, and feel the miles Till I can see your loving smile [Chorus] You're a world away tonight Fighting under a different light My arms are empty, holding air Praying you still feel me there I'm longing for you to come on home I'm not meant to be alone Oh, come on home safe to me-e-e [Verse 2] I leave your photo right in place Just to kiss your sweet face Oh, darlin' I need to see your face The house is warm, but it feels bare Until your boots are on the stair People ask how I hold on I tell them true love's never gone [Pre-Chorus] The distance is wide, the ocean deep Tears trace my cheek that you can't see I know the days, and feel the miles Till I can see your loving smile [Chorus] You're a world away tonight I'm so blue without your light My arms are empty, holding air Praying you keep safe there I'm longing for you to come on home I don't want you to be alone Oh, come on home.... to me-e-e [Final Chorus] You're still a world away tonight Soon you'll board your homeward flight My foolish heart still hopes and cries Praying for forgiving skies Come home safe, darlin', come home Oh, come on home to me-e-e
