Standard (EADGBE)

 They took me for a while

 and who am I to say

Right or wrong my heart will know the answer.

memories will remain

 Don't ask me to explain

 cause there's no way I can tell you what I've been through

Chorus

all through the night

 40 seemed shorter than it ever did.

 Now I'm winding along through the appalachian mist

I'm going home and I can't wait to see you again

 and it's been way to long since I held you in my arms.

time went on so fast. and nothing seemed to last

and like a fool I was running through the darkness

trying to find the way and hoping that someday

I'll look back in peace and not in anger

Chorus

always on my mind afraid that I would find

the world that I once knew laying in ashes

you promised that you would wait

so I know it's not too late.

to hurry back to where I know I'm welcome.

Chorus
