For the best part of four years,
i wondered what if,
sll this time stood nothing,
but today, i'll take my chances,
and i'll save my pennies and wishing well,
so wish me well

the bags they weigh me down,
but thoughts of you pick me back up again,
noone said it was going to be easy,
i took a step back and saw the marvelous sparkle,
it reminded me of you

every silver nail has a story,
every silver nail has a story,
every silver nail has a story,
every silver nail has a story

The marvelous sparkle catches my eye,
i'm getting closer (i'm getting closer) and i'll soon be home (again),
The marvelous sparkle catches my eye,
i'm getting closer and i'll soon be home

If a book was my life,
you'd at least be a chapter,
titled 'one not to forget',
If a book was my life,
you'd at least be a chapter,
titled 'one not to forget'

The marvelous sparkle catches my eye,
i'm getting closer (i'm getting closer) and i'll soon be home (again),
The marvelous sparkle catches my eye,
i'm getting closer (i'm getting closer) and i'll soon be home again
