In His Mind

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
