lyrics

Can you measure every inch of a man
Just by looking at the ways that he's been torn up
And the pain that he can stand?
And when you think you got him all figured out
Does he turn and walk away and leave you wondering why
It's happening again?

I won't pretend I've always been right
But that don't mean I haven't tried to win every fight
We can't get back the years we've lost
With hope and fear and tears the cost
But in the end, it'll be alright

Cause I'll come home to old New England
If it's the last thing I do
Just to know what I been missing
And to see those hills so blue
So don't you go before I return
Let me get my message through
I'm coming home to old New England
if it's the last thing I do

Every single day that we're apart
Is a testament to how we learn to live our lives
Inside a work of art
I can't really explain it but somehow
I know that I'd be better off
if I just laid down and went right back to the start

The distance is the darkest of nights
But if you can stand it long enough I'll bring you forth the light
We can't get back the years we've lot
With hope and fear and tears the cost
But in the end it'll be alright

Cause I'll come home to old New England
If it's the last thing I do
Just to know what I been missing
And to see those hills so blue
So don't you go before I return
Let me get my message through
I'm coming home to old New England
if it's the last thing I do
