He's got their picture on the mantle The one they took in 1995 He's got water in the kettle Her favorite cup already just the way she likes And you leave the front porch light on Like he does every night In his mind, she'll be home any day now He can't see her leaving him behind In his mind, she'll find her way back somehow Some things never change, she's never far away In his mind There's a picture on page 7 A happy couple smiling on their wedding day His kids don't have the heart to tell him And if they did it wouldn't matter any way He swore to her he'd wait forever He don't care how long it takes In his mind, she'll be home any day now He can't see her leaving him behind In his mind, she'll find her way back somehow Some things never change, she's never far away In his mind In his mind, she'll be home any day now He can't see her leaving him behind In his mind, she'll find her way back somehow He won't turn off the light She'll keep on burning bright In his mind Oh, in his mind Oh, in his mind
