	Story Behind the Song This song is the first real song I ever wrote. I wrote it my freshman year in college, in response to a very close friend leaving me to go to college in another state. It was pretty hard for me to imagine that he wouldn't be around or close enough that I could see him, and looking back, I can really see a lot of the rawness of my worry in the lyrics and the tune of the song. I started playing it for my friends, and they thought it was great. The interesting part was that each person I played it for found a different and meaningful interpretation from it, and that was the biggest compliment to me: that I could write a song that could be that universal. Lyrics I watched you ride away On the train at half past two Only wishing that I knew Where your road was leading you In my dreams and my thoughts You will always be wandering Til your road Leads you back home I didn't need a last chance to hold you But not because I did not care We didn't spend our last times together Wondering what it would be like with you not here In my eyes you can see the love for you Burning in my soul And that is why I hold your candle Til your road leads you back home It's been years if I have lived them But these years have gone like days Heaven help me if I'm foolish Thinking you'll be back this way Then at ten minutes past midnight I heard the telephone Come pick me up at the station My road's led me back home Well the journey has been so long But you're finally back home And all the tears i cried for sorrow All are now the tears of joy Now with you I can be happy And with you I will grow old Cuz the road you took so far away Has brought you back home The road you took so long ago Brought you back to my arms
