Going Home
Jimmy Lafave · Favorites 1992-2001 [2010]
Out to this place on the prairie, where we've reached the end of day
You're going home, close your eyes, you're going home
Don't you worry, I'm right beside you, you can dream a peaceful dream
This road is long, but I don't worry, because you cause my heart to sing
Close your eyes, you're going home, close your eyes
You may wake up and find me, driving with a teardrop in my eye
It's from the happiness inside me, the reason why is you and I
Go to sleep, you precious angel, night has fallen, day is gone
Your brown eyes will sparkle in the sunrise, they will dance beside the dawn
Close your eyes, you're going home, close your eyes
You're going home, close your eyes, you're going home
