The train had pulled away just as I hit ‘send’
Not knowing when or if, I’d see her again.
This was a three-way call for me and her and him.
A thank you note and a small request, this is not the end
We’re both so far from home.
Will we go back alone?

Two porch lights are on tonight in the valley of answered prayers.
If you read this now, please show us how to love without a care.
We didn’t ask for this, and we didn’t plan this kiss.
But thank you for the things we could have missed.
In the valley of your arms.

The sun soon found my face, a comforting reply.
She agreed it might have worked and we didn’t question why.
With a little hope and faith, and some fatherly advice.
Maybe its’ a ‘see ya later’, and not a quick goodbye.

We’re both so far from home.
Will we go back alone?

Two porch lights are on tonight in the valley of answered prayers.
If you read this now, please show us how to love without a care.
We didn’t ask for this, and we didn’t plan this kiss.
But thank you for the things we could have missed.
In the valley of your arms.

Tell me why you brought us here?
Tell me why you let it start?
Now it might take a million miles to keep us both apart.
We gotta believe in something, if we can’t see anything.
Or the lights go out in the valley of our hearts.

We’re both so far from home.
Will she go back alone?

Two porch lights are on tonight in the valley of answered prayers.
If you read this now, please show us how to love without a care.
We didn’t ask for this, and we didn’t plan this kiss.
But thank you for the things we would have missed.
In the valley of your arms.
