I sing this song at funerals, no rush.

These lyrics heard a thousand times, just plush.
F                  G                 C                   Am
A baby boy you've held so tightly, this pain it visits almost nightly.

Missing hotel beds I feel your touch.

I will await dear,

A patient of eternity, my crush.

A universal still, No rust.

No dust will ever grow on this frame,

One million years I will say your name.

I love you more than I can ever scream.

Booked our flight those years ago, 
    F                G
I said I love you as I left you.

'Grets still haunt my hollow head,

I promised you I will see you again.

Again.

I sit here and smile dear,

I smile because I think of you, I blush.
F                   G             C    Am
These bleeding hollow dials, this fuss.
F                   G
Fuss is made of miles and travels 
C                   Am
when roadways are but stones and gravel.
F           G                    C
A bleeding heart can conquer every crutch.

I promised you I will see you.
        C         Am
Booked our flight those years ago, 
    F                  G
I said I loved you and I left you.
   C             Am
'Grets no longer in my head, 
      F                 G            C
But I promised you and now I'm home again, 
again, again, again, again, again.
I'm home again
