I just, got the news It keeps on spreading farther It looks like we might lose She says, she's always been Her daddy's little girl And hopes that we can win She stayed, by his side And kept him company Morning noon and night I know there's nothing to hide In the midst of the darkness The wind it cries We'll paint it yellow as the lights go out Canvas on the coast and I'm homeward bound This is the last time I'll hold your hand So I begin to cry I remember growing up You always cared about me Always showed me love I'll see you, your smile again Just on the other side My broken heart will mend I know there's nothing to hide Faintly in the distance The wind it cries We'll paint it yellow as the lights go out Canvas on the coast and I'm homeward bound We'll paint it yellow as the lights go out Canvas on the coast I never got to say goodbye I wish that I had the strength inside They said my memories would change that day If I saw you in the hospital bed Where you lay I couldn't count the tears I've cried From the guilt I feel inside I love you and I miss you so We'll meet again one day, I know We'll paint it yellow as the lights go out Canvas on the coast and I'm homeward bound We'll paint it yellow as the lights go out Canvas on the coast
