This is dedicated to the memory of my mother Lynn Turner who used to like this song. She was a beautiful woman and a lovely person who gave so many people love, laughter and understanding.

Lyrics

Missing You and who I thought we were
The dimming light of those other days
When I took for granted, everything
Our lives were always further away
A secret future was bright
Show me the way back
Or stay with me tonight

Ask the longing sky
What should I do, what can I do?
With homesickness as my only guide
When will I ever arrive?

Feel like the echo of another world
Was it really us on that day?
Feelings fading into words
Photographs are all that remain
Left like a thief in the night
Days become years, become the rest of my life

Ask the longing sky
What should I do, what can I do?
With homesickness as my only guide
When will I ever arrive?

I'll see you down the line
I'll never forget
A blackbird would sing as we lay in the sunset
For me every morning, you were the sunlight
Wish that I could go back, make everything alright
It all has to mean something after all

The emptiness left in place of where you were
Deep inside, it won't go away
You are more real to me still
Than anything that happens today
So long since I've seen you
Is there still some way back
Do you miss me too

Ask the longing sky
What should I do, what can I do?
If today was the last day of my life
I'd just want to hear your voice, see you smile
And Im afraid, I'll never get to say goodbye
