  • When you left this town, with your windows down
    And the wilderness inside
    Let the exits pass, all the tar and glass
    'Til the road and sky align

    The strangers in this town
    They raise you up just to cut you down
    Oh, Angela, it's a long time coming

    When your Volvo lights lit up green and white
    With the cities on the signs
    But you held your course to some distant war
    In the corners of your mind

    From the second time around
    The only love I ever found
    Oh, Angela, it's a long time coming

    Home at last

    Were you safe and warm in your coat of arms
    With your fingers in a fist?
    Did you hear the notes, all those static codes
    In the radio abyss?

    Strangers in this town
    They raise you up just to cut you down
    Oh, Angela, it's a long time coming
    Oh, Angela, spent your whole life running away

    Home at last
    Home at last

    Vacancy, hotel room, lost in me, lost in you
    Angela, on my knees, I belong, I believe

    Home at last
    Home at last
    Home at last
    Home at last

    Home at last

  • Angela from MarylandI love this song, probably because it feels like it was written about me. I spent years running from problems and from loss, and basically from myself. It was when I stopped running and confronted all of it that I was able to move forward and to give and accept love again.
  • Libby Deel from TexasJust found this song why does it make me cry? Its so beautiful
