Song A Week - Week 33

Shout-out to my fellow Song A Week crew for the use of the 2023 prompts from weeks 22, 23, 24, 28, 29, 32, 33 (read: most of the summer prompts June-August)

Lyrics: 

do you remember tuesday night
when you looked at me in the fading light
i was there waiting for a lyft
yet something in your eyes said this was it

we heard that train running through
them red mountain trains remind me of you
strong & steady like the roots beneath the tree
a safe haven for everyone, even me

seems i only see you at funerals & weddings
and one of these days, yeah, i'm betting
we'll find our way right back at the start
nothin' could keep us apart

'cuz i've been coast to coast and back again
east to west, north to south, and then
no matter if it takes days, weeks, or years
one thing true, dear, 

i'm coming home to you
coming home to you
coming home to you
coming home to you

you said a man's gotta keep his secrets close & tight
as you turned on your heel & took your flight
but i know you better and i know your tell
you've fallen back in love and scared as hell

well darlin' i've been coast to coast and back again
east to west, north to south, and then
no matter if it takes days, weeks, or years
one thing true, dear, 

i'm coming home to you
coming home to you
coming home to you
coming home to you

coming home to you
coming home to you

One Thing True
