Waking up alone

I took my chances on a one-way ticket home
Growing tired of strangers and the kind of life I want
For the time for settling down has come at last
Yes I hope to find a future in my past

Walk with me darling
Where the wheat fields used to be
And I will tell you stories of my time across the sea
You're the legendary girl I left behind
Can't begin to count the times you crossed my mind

Though your children
The youngest looks just like you
She's the picture of her mother
But there'll never be another quite like you

You're the angel and the time
I don't know anymore so goodnight
I'll take my memories to bed and know
That I'll be waking up alone

I should have noticed
That the years were slipping by
Still you're just as loving
As the day we said goodbye
Like an old familiar poem
That still won't rhyme
I could get back to the place
But not the time

You're the angel and the time
I don't know anymore so goodnight
I'll take my memories to bed and know
That I'll be waking up alone.
