Love Is Making Its Way Back Home
Dark pines, the moonlit road
Winter time, the crunch of snow
I wonder, will your smile show
That love it's making its way back home?

Love is making its way back home
Love is making its way back home
Love is making it's cold, weary way back home

And when it's finally reappeared
We won't ask what it has seen
It won't say and we won't care
Where it’s traveled in the in-between

Love is making its way back home
Love is making its way back home
Love is making its cold, weary way back home
To you and me

So keep on, keep on, keep on
Leave it if you can
You can’t leave it long
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Just because it's gone
Don’t mean it's gone for long
All that jazz you’ve heard is true
Love is patient and love can burn
And it won't ask to be excused
And it won't ask if it can please return

Some will tell you that it’s a myth
Try to say it don't exist
We’ll shake our hands and offer a place
When it's finally standing in our midst

Love is making its way back home
Love is making its way back home
Love is making its cold, weary way back home

Love is making its way back home
Love is making its way back home
Love is making its cold, weary way back home
To you and me

Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on (x4)
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
