On a dark desert night, the first of the winter

Distant lights far away, the cold breathes the air

And I wish you were in this town tonight

Taking flight, while I'm fighting for my life

Got nobody to blame, I chose to come here

Got no choice but to stay, and see this thing through

It's just me, the moonlight and the water

And the sound of a time lost long ago

Hear me, I'm calling home

Wanted to let you know

I can still feel you close to me

I'm sorry I had to go

I kept every card you wrote

Now all I can do is hope you're happy

Calling home

Hear me, I'm calling home

Wanted to let you know

I can still feel you close to me

I'm sorry I had to go

I kept every card you wrote

Now all I can do is hope you're happy

Calling home
