Letras
The propellers fade into the evening sky
Your silver wings catch the last light goodbye
I stood on the tarmac, heart heavy and still
Whispering prayers for your safe return thrill
Bombs fell like rain across the foreign blue
But every night, darling, I dreamed of you
Through flak and the thunder, you flew so high
Chasing the horizon, touching the sky
Now the war's winding down, and the runway's clear
Come home to these arms, my flyboy dear
Let the engines hush, let the stars take their turn
We'll dance in this hangar till the fires burn
Hold me close, feel the heat of the night
Your uniform's waiting, but love feels so right
Coming home, coming home to me tonight
I pressed your photo to my lips every dawn
Counted the missions till the fighting was gone
Letters grew shorter, but the longing grew deep
Promises folded in the secrets we keep
You wrote of the cold, the roar, and the fight
But always you ended with darling, goodnight
Now the wheels touch down on american ground
No more goodbyes, no more battle sound
The war's winding down, and the runway's clear
Come home to these arms, my flyboy dear
Let the engines hush, let the stars take their turn
We'll dance in this hangar till the fires burn
Press your lips to my neck, let the tension unwind
Your hands on my waist, leaving reason behind
Coming home, coming home, and you're mine
I've waited in silk, with perfume and lace
Saved every slow song for your warm embrace
No more distant skies, no more lonely moon
Just you and I swaying to this sweet, slow tune
The war's finally over, the runway's aglow
Come home to my love, let the whole world know
We'll dance till the dawn breaks over the field
Your wings folded gently, our passion revealed
Hold me tighter, darling, feel how I burn
For my airman, my hero, my love has returned
Coming home, oh, coming home to stay
