Tonio K. - The Rake's Progress

(Tonio K./John Keller)

seems like this road must go on 
for a thousand miles 
this country's so big 
sometimes all you can do is smile 
feels like i must have been gone 
for a long long while 
but i've finally found my way home 
like a little child

home to you—to the place i was meant to be 
back to the one heart i've known 
that was always true 
home to you—to the love that still waits for me 
every road i go down leads me back home to you

sometimes i think i was born 
in the wrong century 
searching for someplace i know 
but i've never seen 
guess i'm a dreamer 
except i don't know the dream 
till i remember the one love that waits for me (and go)

home to you—to the face i will always see 
home to the arms of the one 
i have always loved 
home to you—to the place i still want to be 
every road i go down leads back home to you

and someday you'll go with me 
i will carry you away 
or else i'll just stay...

home to you—wherever you are is where i'll be 
we'll be together forever eventually 
home to you—to the place i was meant to be 
every road i go down leads back home to you 
yes, every road i go down 
leads me back home to you
