Burning Ember

Page 28

by Sam E. Kraemer

I’d trade every road I’ve ever known

To hear the sound of your sweet moan

I’ve been gone too long

But I’m still holding on—

I’m still holding on

(verse)

I’ve missed birthdays, I’ve missed family meals

Missed the little things you think I’ll never feel

Pictures on my phone are all I’ve got

A frozen moment in a parking lot

There’s a weight in my chest I can’t explain

Every goodbye leaves another stain

They say the distance makes you strong

But some nights just feel so goddamn wrong

(chorus)

I can’t wait to get back home

I’m tired of sleeping all alone

I’ve had enough of these empty rooms

These long nights and these changing moons

I’ve been gone far too long

But I’m still holding on—

I’m still holding on

(bridge)

Maybe someday I’ll stop chasing

Every promise down this road

Maybe someday I’ll quit running

From the place that feels like home

(outro)

Yeah, I’ve been gone too long…

But now I’m coming home
