I Have Returned

(album: Alela & Alina - 2009)

I never planned to come back home to you
I came just as I went, I have returned
Just as the flocks do flee their nest to head down South
When they go there is a quiet wholesome feeling in the weather
The wind keeps us inside, I'd like to be right here forever

But you never know, how the wind will blow
And you never know who's going with it when it goes
You never know how it's gonna go
And you never know who's going with it when it goes

Can't say that I'm rambler, though it's true I know the road
And I shall live the past few years with one foot out the door
My man, he's no carpenter but he wears through his blue jeans
And I bet that he can dig a hole, if ever there were a need

But you never know, how the wind will blow
And you never know who's going with it when it goes
You never know how it's gonna go
And you never know who's going with it when it goes

When light comes through the window dancing colors on the wall
I'm caught between the morning and the echo of a dream
I thank the sky for knowing what was, is, and soon will be
I'm a lady as you see me for perhaps a century

But you never know, how the wind will blow
And you never know who's going with it when it goes
You never know how it's gonna go
And you never know who's going with it when it goes
