Almost Home

My father called me up
He said «You better come home»
We heard from the doctor
And I don’t think I can tell her on my own
He found a dark spot
In your mothers chest
I try to hold it all together
But I’m such a mess
And all you lost, all you gained
Sometimes things just can’t stay the same
And all you lost, all you gained
Sometimes things just can’t stay the same
But I’m almost home
Right where I’m supposed to be
But I’m almost home
Won’t you leave a light on for me
'Cause I’m almost home
Used to take my photograph
Every first day of school
Used to teach me how to fight
So I’d be nobody’s fool
All I lost, all I gained
Sometimes things just can’t stay the same
But I’m almost home
Right where I’m supposed to be
But I’m almost home
Won’t you leave a light on for me
'Cause I’m almost home
On the top field
Running down hill
Under the North Point sky
Alight with Bethlehem fire
Well I’m almost home
Right where I’m supposed to be
Well I’m almost home
Won’t you leave a light on for me
To shine on me
'Cause I’m almost home
Almost home
Right where I’m supposed to be
Well I’m almost home
Between familiar streets
Cause I’m almost home
