Lyrics
Verse 1
Well, the road is wide
And waters run on either side
And my shadow in the fading light
Is stretching out towards the night
'Cause the sun is low
And I yet have still so far to go
And my lonely heart is beating so
Tired of the wonder
There's a sign ahead
Though I think it's the same one again
But I'm thinking 'bout my only friend
So I'll find my way home
Chorus
'Cause when I need to get home
You're my guiding light
You're my guiding light
When I need to get home
You're my guiding light
You're my guiding light
Verse 2
Oh, well the air is cold
And yonder lies my sleeping soul
By the branches broke like bones
This weakened tree no longer holds
Oh, well, the night is still
And I have not yet lost my will
And, oh, I will keep on moving till
Till I find my way home
Chorus
When I need to get home
You're my guiding light
You're my guiding light
Bridge
So lead me home, lead me strong
Like the road I walk on
Chorus
When I need to get home
You're my guiding light
You're my guiding light
When I need to get home
You're my guiding light
You're my guiding light
