Lyrics
Oh, it's late in the evening
Expressing the lateness of the hour
I find myself on the road
Being on a journey
Towards the place I can find you
Heading toward a familiar place associated with comfort and belonging
Where my heart feels at home
Where emotional comfort is felt
Up the hill, past the oak tree
Describing the route to the familiar place
The feeling's overwhelming
Feeling deeply intense emotions
Oh, I'm homesick for a person and a place I know I can't be
Longing for a person and place that are unattainable
So I'll lay here through the night
Choosing to stay in that emotional state through the night
Next to stone that marks the day you left my side
Being beside a marker of a significant departure
In my head I paint pictures I could hang on the wall
Creating mental images of scenarios where the person should be present
They fill the spaces of where you would belong
Imagining the person's absence in various aspects of life
But every time that I paint you the picture's never complete
Struggling to accurately depict the person in mental images
So I'll leave pink flowers till the day that we'll meet
Symbolically leaving reminders until the anticipated reunion
And I'll lay here through the night
Continuing to remain in the longing state through the night
Next to stone that marks the day you left my side
Reiterating the proximity to the departure marker
Oh, I'm homesick
Expressing the intense longing for home and comfort
Oh, I'm homesick for you
Reaffirming the longing for the person
Oh, I'm homesick
Repeating the sentiment of feeling homesick
Oh, I'm homesick
-Oh, I'm homesick
-Oh, I'm homesick
-Oh, it's late in the evening
Repeating the late hour, emphasizing the ongoing longing
I find myself on the road
Reiterating being on a journey
There you are, you are with me
Feeling the presence of the person, signifying a sense of homecoming
And I know I am home
Confirming the feeling of being at home with the person's presence
