Lyrics Now You Are Homeward Bound - Allan Wilson

And she was coming on the night train
From November when the
Coming summer brought her to our
Dark water and bright sky

And she was rolling down the steel rails
Rocking gently in the night
Does she dream of what she left here?
Oh, come on hold on tight

Oh, my first love you are
Coming home to me I know
Singing tūīs, Pōhutukawa flowers
Shine red all around

You are so lovely
I remember kissing you lying on the ground
I've waiting slowly with the rainfall
Now you are homeward bound

When we were young, I saw you
Sitting by the water side
The waves drifting in from the Pacific
Running barefoot in the tide

Oh, and I watched you growing
The sun light in your shining hair
'Till the day that you upped and left us
Leaving me with just one prayer

Oh, my first love you are
Coming home to me I know
Singing tūīs, Pōhutukawa flowers
Shine red all around

You are so lovely
I remember kissing you lying on the ground
I've waiting slowly with the rainfall
Now you are homeward bound
