On the way home I saw a yellow house With a picket fence It had a light in the window No one's ever there On the way home I caught a butterfly On my finger On the way home Yesterday I saw a turtle crossing the street On the way home I thought about would our paths ever meet On the way home I lost the best friend I ever had When her boyfriend told her he liked me better than her On the way home Someone yelled out their car window at me I want say what was said But I wasn't offended On the way home I grew weary from the long walk Took a detour to get a drink Not much longer to go now It's getting closer I'm on my way home
