“
”
a love song for a husband and wife, military leaders after a devastating war.
Lyrics
Soft march of footsteps on a porch we rebuilt, oh-oh
Your hand finds mine like a compass, yeah
(hold me) (hold me)
We wear the dust the way old maps wear creases
Each scar a longitude, a date, a name
You still hum our children's lullaby between briefings
And I still trace the lines from where the fires came
We traded battlements for bread at dawn
You taught the town to plant roses on the ridge
I learned to read the sky again for kinder weather
And watch you fold our future into silence and a kiss
When orders trembled in the dark, you stood up tall
When I forgot the words, you carried every call (you carried every call)
We counted losses like seasons, then counted the dawn
And found a language in the quiet to go on
Come home, come home into my arms, oh-oh
Lay down that map, lay down that armor, yeah
Come home, come home into my arms, oh-oh
Stay with me, stay with me, stay with me, stay
We built a table from the beams that stayed standing
Carved our vows into wood where the children play
You polish medals into buttons on your jacket
Then hide a smile that melts the night away
There are names in our garden on small white stones
We read them soft like prayers between the rain
You say their stories out loud so we will remember
But you keep my name like warmth against your name
When the radio still sings of distant thunder, you breathe slow
When I wake up from maps I can’t redraw, you whisper “we know” (we know)
We learned to hold the restless and the brave
Turn broken letters into bread, and find a way
Come home, come home into my arms, oh-oh
Lay down that map, lay down that armor, yeah
Come home, come home into my arms, oh-oh
Stay with me, stay with me, stay with me, stay
There are mornings we move like careful soldiers of love
Slow and certain, one small step at a time
You press your forehead to mine like a benediction
We trade our stubborn for a softer kind of rhyme
(la-la-la) la-la-la, oh
We will teach the town to laugh again, to sing again
We will plant the seasons back where the fires ran
I will follow you when the road bends low and long
You will follow me when the light comes on
Come home, come home into my arms, oh-oh
Lay down that map, lay down that armor, yeah
Come home, come home into my arms, oh-oh
Stay with me, stay with me, stay with me, stay
Come home, come home into my arms, oh-oh
Lay down that map, lay down that armor, yeah
Come home, come home into my arms, oh-oh
Stay with me, stay with me, stay with me, stay
