Lyrics
I knew it was time
Time to stop searching
The hows and the whys
The questions kept trying
Trying to find
The veil's hidden line
Dividing your world
from mine
It's been less than a moon
Since you passed
There I saw
Behind sunlight and glass
I followed the road
To the winter of morn
That's when I knew
You weren't coming home
Chorus
Over and over
By the fields and the flowers
Over and over
By the reeds and the river
Over and over
Where we once walked
If I could I'd carry you home
We left the lights
On for you
Tiny sparks
Of red, green and blue
Beckoning
In the night
Can you find your way home
Chorus
We took your ashes
To the tallest mountain
And there I heard
Coyote say
You carried him home
You carried him home
CHORUS
Over and over
By the fields and the flowers
Over and over
By the reeds and the river
Over and over
Where we once walked
If I could I'd carry you home
I carried you home
I carried you home
