where have you been, my son, my friend, my love
do you know that you've been running away
feeling separated, so isolated
you're getting dark, darker by the day

how long has it been since you've really told the truth
looking in the mirror when lights are all out
feeling so separate, so isolated
surrounded by your darkness and your doubt

have you not felt the buzz when i've been calling
or have you ignored the ringing in your ear
feeling separated by a canyon's great divide
but i'm right beside you, always near

the weight of guilt and time keeps you from calling
but i'm here with you, even as you run away
feeling so separate, but i'm here waiting
for the night to run its course and turn to day

you can call me
you can call me
you can call me
you can call me home
