Homeward Bound

Where did all the meadows go?
I can still remember strolling them
When did all the poppies wilt?
I can still remember touching them

But once it was done
Felt the breeze on my neck
And the chill in the air
Homeward bound

Where did all the oceans go?
I can still remember sailing them
When did all those days go by?
I can still remember counting them

But once it was done
Felt the breeze on my neck
Felt the chill in the air
Homeward bound in the end
Soaring feet touching grass
Once again

Dreams of glowing autumn leaves
Distant as the faces in the crowd
When did all the colors drain
From the rumbling ashen sky above?

Once it was done
Felt the breeze on my neck
Felt the chill in the air
Homeward bound in the end
Curtain call, empty stage
Dangling feet on dewy grass
Fields of red, silent skies
Homeward bound
In the end
