Almost Home

(Mark Erelli)How many miles

Did we travel down that road

Searching all the while

For a place to call our own

So young and hypnotized

By the stars in our eyes

How could we have ever known

Almost home

We were almost homeHow many times

Can you go on tempting fate

'Til it sends you a sign

You can't anticipate

Now the lesson is learned

Our love has turned

>From a jewel into a stone

Almost home

We were almost homeLove never lasts

Like an old photograph

Where the colors slowly fade to shades of grey
