Daniel and the Lion Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girl you know that I am lost,
Just to see your days alone,
I know, I'm coming home for you.

Now you know that I am lost,
Just to see your days go by,
I know, I'm coming home for you.

And now I know, just where you go.
Out in the, out in the sky.

Girl you know that,
I'll be coming home for sure,
Just to see your days alone, and oh,
I'm coming home for you.

Now you know that I am lost,
Doesn't mean your days are crossed, and oh,
I'm coming home for you.

And now I know, just where you go,
Out in the, out in the sky.

Girl you know that: I'll be coming home for sure.
Just to see your days go by, and oh,
I'm coming home for you,

I'm coming home for you,
I'm coming home for you girl.
