Homeward Lyrics
You’ve stolen my heart and I want you to remember now what’ll I do living alone?
You’ve stolen my heart and it hurts me to remember now where’ll I go to living alone?
And a butterfly in the wind is drifting like I do,
it’s dumb, I know what I want to say but I can’t even take one breath.
As night falls I hear voices on the radio, ooh, I’ll follow their dreams and wake up alone.
And a butterfly in the wind is drifting like I do
it’s dumb, I know what I want to say, but I can’t even take one breath.
So now still burning silently away, a storm without the thunder.
You’ve stolen my heart and it hurts me to remember now where’ll I go to living alone?
And a butterfly in the wind is drifting like I do,
it’s dumb, I know what I want to say but I can’t even take one breath.
And a butterfly in the wind is drifting like I do
it’s dumb, I know what I want to say, but I can’t even take one breath.
So now still burning silently away, a storm without the thunder.

Can't believe that no one has commented on this song yet. This is one of the best songs on a wonderful album; just beautiful. I love the gently skipping 6/8 time signature, and the line "And a butterfly in the wind is drifting like I do" always gets me. Also, "a storm without the thunder" sums up the emotional turmoil so well, and the emptiness (no thunder), in just a few words.
This is about having loved and lost, and feeling rudderless and drifting without the one you loved. Also being afraid to tell the other person how you really feel.
I really miss the Sundays.
