Backpack on my back, walking down a railroad track 
 Oh, I've been wanting to see you 
 Eyes upon the rows of trees, an endless sea in front of me 
 Oh, I've been longing to see you 

 You've been on my mind, talk about a lonely time 
 You don't know how much I need you 
 Once I feel the downy snow, the only home I've ever known 
 I'll hold you close when I see you 

 There's no way I could let you go 
 There's no way I could let you go 
 There's no way I could let you go 

 And it seems to me 
 We sing soft and low 
 Such a sweet hello 

 Backpack on my back, standing on a railroad track 
 It won't be long 'till I see you 
 Why do I always have to leave the only one I'll ever need? 
 Now hold me close while I breathe you
