[Intro]
Night folds the city, a quiet drum in my chest
I map the hours like rain on a window pane
Two clocks blink in the dark, one near, one far away
Rachelle, you drift through every mile I can't erase
[Verse 1]
In the hush of insomnia, I count the seconds you’re not here
Your name repeats in the breath I’m using to stay close to you
Time zones pull us like tides, Nashville to Nairobi, I trace your light
On a screen that glows with memories we stitched in the night
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear your voice in the tremor of the fan, soft and near
I reach across the pillow and imagine you sleeping without fear
[Chorus]
Come home to me, Rachelle, let the distance fall away
Let the dawn find us side by side, where love has room to stay
Return to this harbor, where your laugh knows my name
Rachelle, come home, and end this long, longing flame
[Verse 2]
I wore your scarf as a map when the winds started to change
Every memory is a doorway I walk through in the rain
The clock spins reckless in the dark, but my heart knows your face
In every quiet corner, I keep your touch in its place
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear your voice in the tremor of the fan, soft and near
I reach across the pillow and imagine you sleeping without fear
[Chorus]
Come home to me, Rachelle, let the distance fall away
Let the dawn find us side by side, where love has room to stay
Return to this harbor, where your laugh knows my name
Rachelle, come home, and end this long, longing flame
[Bridge]
If time could soften its edges, I’d slow the night for you
If distance could bloom into dawn, I’d gather stars for two
Until your footsteps cross the floor, until your breath finds mine
I’ll keep the memory warm, like a light in a quiet pine
[Chorus]
Come home to me, Rachelle, let the distance fall away
Let the dawn find us side by side, where love has room to stay
Return to this harbor, where your laugh knows my name
Rachelle, come home, and end this long, longing flame
[Outro]
Until you close the gap of night and know my waiting arms again
I’ll dream you back to this doorstep, where time forgives the time we’ve spent
Rachelle, come home, come home, come home
