Does she know that in my heart is where her home is now

So she can lean up against my soul when the world passes her by

I wonder as I am in the company of those stripes along this long lonesome highway

If she feels just as lonely in that big empty sky

As fate carried away our hopes and dreams

On those singing wheels and those big silver wings

And I wonder why we were going in separate directions

To get to each other in a round-about way

When we belong on the straight and narrow

Hand in hand

Heart to heart

Does she know

Theres no use in fighting this

I'll never let her go

So...you know..

We never said goodbye

And theres a reason why

Fate hangs its head in shame

And other people pass us by

Because I know

And she knows

There is no fighting this

No turning back now

Do you think she knows

My heart is her home now.........
