The wild mountain thyme that grows around my door
Has grown there for two score years or more
And I've grown weary waiting for love to say
"Come my way, come my way."
The brook that sings and twinkles in the sun
Has danced this mercy dance since time begun
But o how weary and how long the day will he say
"Come my way."
Lovers all around, I wish you joy
Happiness to every girl and boy.
But sometimes spare a thought of me and say

You built this house
You built it stone by stone
Hammer in your hand
You built this home
And this house is strong
You raised it with your love
A shelter from the winds
From the cold and dark
Nobody has to cry
To make it seem real
Nobody has to hide
The way that they feel
If you'll stay right here
Tomorrow you'll be fine
I will be here for you
Standing by your side
So come home
Come home
You built those walls
To hide your fears inside
We were younger then
It's safe now to come outside
We built this home
On this little piece of land
The sky above is dark
No rain comes in
Nobody has to cry
To make it seem real
Nobody has to hide
The way that they feel
If you'll stay right here
Tomorrow you'll be fine
I will be here for you
Standing by your side
So come home
Come home
As the storm grows stronger deeper and wide
My face a winding river with no riverside
As the years grow longer I will be here by your side
Ashes to dust and storm by storm
Forever I will always be your love
Nobody has to cry
To make it seem real
Nobody has to hide
The way that they feel
If you'll stay right here
Tomorrow you'll be fine
I will be here for you
Standing by your side
So come home
Come home
Peut-être bien qu'ailleurs
Une femme a le coeur
Éperdu de bonheur
Comme moi
Et que d'un geste heureux
Elle soulève un peu
Le rideau de soie bleue
Comme moi
Pour regarder en bas
Son amour qui viendra
La prendre dans ses bras
Comme moi
Elle attend son amour
Les yeux de son amour
Les bras de son amour
Comme moi
Peut-être bien aussi
Qu'à l'instant elle vit
Le meilleur de sa vie
Comme moi
Et qu'en fermant les yeux
Elle abandonne un peu
Sa main dans ses cheveux
Comme moi
Peut-être qu'à son coeur
Elle épingle une fleur
Et puis regarde l'heure
Comme moi
Et pense à son amour
Aux yeux de son amour
Aux bras de son amour
Comme moi
Peut-être bien encore
Qu'elle entendra plus fort
Son coeur battre et qu'alors
Comme moi
Elle voudra crier
En entendant monter
Un pas dans l'escalier
Comme moi
Comme moi dans l'instant
Où mon coeur en suspens
Se retient un moment
Contre toi
Et puis meure, mon amour
Dans tes yeux, mon amour
Dans tes bras mon amour
Well I came home the other night
I thought I had a bride
had a big fat momma layin' on the floor
Sayin' look here daddy dun' treat me right
The situation was, as I recall
Lookin' pretty bad
Look here Momma, you know, I say
Your the bestest woman that I ever had
She lay on the bed, and ????? ??? ??? head
I didn't know if I was 'live or dead
Cause I said Momma, try some o' this stuff
Well she opened her mouth and popped one in
She said Oh Daddy you know what I mean
Maybe you were right, maybe I was wrong
Maybe I said goodbye a little too strong
But, you been away way too long... Come home
A little too harsh, a little too loud
Out there on the edge of a little too proud
But baby, you oughta see me now... Come home
Come Home, come home
Tell me all is forgiven, let's get back to livin'
Come home
I know there ain't no way to take it all back
Make it better after the fact
But I'd sure give my should for somethin' like that...
You just come home
Come Home, come home
Tell me all is forgiven, let's get back to livin'
Come home
Come Home Baby
Come Home, come home
Tell me all is forgiven, let's get back to livin'
Come home
I'm gonan wait, but it ain't too long
Come home, come home
It's that time again when I lose my friends
Go walkabout, I've got the bends from pressure
This is a testing time when the choice is mine
Am I a fool for love or foolish with desire
And I don't believe you're all I'll ever need
And I need to feel that you're not holding me
but the way I feel just makes me want to scream
Come home, come home, come home
Come home, come home, come home
After thirty years I've become my fears
I've become the kind of man I always hated
I am in love insane with a sense of shame
That I threw stones at the condemned and
Now I'm slated
I may have paid for sex but I was blessed by love
In this land that's ruled by gods of lust and money
And I don't believe you're all I'll ever need
And I need to feel that you're not holding me
but the way I feel just makes me want to scream
Come home, come home, come home
Come home, come home, come home
hello world
hope you're listening
forgive me if i'm young
for speaking out of turn
there's someone i've been missing
i think that they could be
the better half of me
they're in the wrong place trying to make it right
but i'm tired of justifying
so i say to you
[chorus]
come home
come home
cause i've been waiting for you
for so long, so long
and right now there's a war between the vanities
but all i see is you and me
the fight for you is all i've ever known
so come home
i get lost in the beauty
of everything i see
the world ain't as half as bad
as they paint it to be
when all the sons, all the daughters
stopped to take it in
then hopefully the hate subsides and the love can begin
it might start now
but maybe i'm just dreaming out loud
but until then
[chorus]
come home
come home
cause i've been waiting for you
for so long, so long
and right now there's a war between the vanities
but all i see is you and me
the fight for you is all i've ever known
so come home
[bridge]
everything i can't be
is everything you should be
and that's why i need you here
everything i can't be
is everything you should be
and that's why i need you here
so hear this now
[chorus]
come home
come home
cause i've been waiting for you
for so long, so long
and right now there's a war between the vanities
but all i see is you and me
the fight for you is all i've ever known,
ever known
come home
Aturdido y abrumado, por la duda de los celos
se ve triste en la cantina a un bohemio ya sin fe,
con los nervios destrozados y llorando sin remedio,
como un loco atormentado por la ingrata que se fue.
Se ve siempre acompa
Stuck between the do or die, I feel emaciated.
Hard to breathe I try and try, I'll get asphyxiated.
Swinging from the tallest height, with nothing left to hold on to.
Every sky is blue, but not for me and you.
Come home, come home, come home, come home.
Glass and petrol vodka gin, it feels like breathing methane.
Throw yourself from skin to skin, and still it doesn't dull the pain.
Vanish like a lipstick trace, it always blows me away.
Every cloud is grey, with dreams of yesterday.
Come home, come home, come home, come home,
come home, come home, come home, come home.
Always goes against the grain, and I can try and deny it
Give a monkey half a brain, and still he's bound to fry it.
Now the happening scene is dead, I used to want to be there too.
Every sky is blue, but not for me and you.
Come home, come home, come home, come home,
Nothing but a chemical in my head
It's nothing but laziness
'Cause I don't wanna read the book
I'll watch the movie
'Cause it's not me
I'm just like everybody else my age
I think I'd rather play around
And I think I'd rather watch tv
'Cause I don't wanna face my fears
I'll watch the movie
'Cause it's not me
I'm just like everybody else
Because I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna see this now
It's all wrong but it's allright
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna study now
It's all wrong but it's allright
I don't know what love is
And I don't know who I am
And if I ever wanna find out
I'll watch the movie
'Cause it's not me
I'm just like everybody else my age
I don't wanna change the world
And I don't wanna be someone
And I don't wanna write the book
I'll make the movie
'Cause it's not me
I'm just like everybody else
Verse 1
Baby
I've been thinking about our love
And thought
Maybe...
We could spend a little time because
Lately
The moments that we share have been so
Shaky
You're still here but you're not here
Chorus
Girl you're been away too long
Won't you come home
Come home
I been missing you
Since you been gone
Won't you come home
Come home
Verse 2
You said...
That you need a change of pace, and so
I said...
We both could use a little space
Never thinking...
A little while would be forever without your love
Without your love
Bridge
I can't imagine life
I can't imagine loev
If you're not here with me
'Cause I can't get enough
So when you change your mind
My arms are open wide
Do what you gotta do
Just know I'm missing you
Repeat Chorus 2X
Repeat Bridge
Breakdown
Chorus, Vamp, End
Verse
So you say that you're not ready,
you'll be coming in just a little while;
day by day you ask Him for forgiveness,
for you know you are really His child.
You say that you'll be there tomorrow,
you take a chance and you gamble with faith;
because when you come back tomorrow,
it just may already be too late;
come home.
Chorus 1
How can you refuse,
your Father's calling you into a better life within.
How can you refuse,
your Father's at the door waiting for you to come in,
and He is standing there with out-stretched hands
to embrace you as His own;
how can you refuse,
your Father wants you to come home.
How can you refuse,
your Father wants you to come home.
Chorus 2
How can you refuse,
your Father wants you to come home.
Bridge
Others have left you all alone,
but He'll never leave on your own.
In His word, that is shown,
oh the Father, He wants you to come home.
Friends may forsake as time goes by,
others may reject you, you don't know why;
but the Father, He'll still be there to dry your eyes;
why, because your Father,
He wants you to come home, oh.
Vamp 1
Come home,
come home,
He wants you to'
Vamp 2
Lord, I'm coming,
Lord, I'm coming,
I'm coming home.
Vamp 3
Come home,
come home,
come home
He wants you to'
Vamp 4
Come home (come home),
come home (come home),
come home,
Come home you've been gone too long
I hear you walking like a tired dog
All alone in the wild untamed
A fading face in the picture frame
Well i'll be waiting when the cuckoo calls
A different place but the same four walls
I hear you crying for somebody's arms
Come home away from harm
Tears those tears and thorns
The unborn will pass through every storm
While the sad silent son
He sings for the kings
And the times they had last spring
Come home through the hurricanes
The violent winds and the sharp chicanes
I see you swimming in the blackest seas
With the magnets and the mysteries
Above the fireplace upon the shelf
In the book where i find myself
Was it you who turned the page last night?
Come home it will be alright
Tears those tears and thorns
The unborn will pass through every storm
While the sad silent son
He sings for the kings
And the times they had last spring
Hundreds come from everywhere
Just to see your face and touch the healer's hand
Desperate, I push through the crowd
If I could touch your clothes
I could feel your power
Come my way
Please look
And notice me
Just to release my pain
Just to know your name
Come my way I'm out of touch
I'm out of reach
I've got the faith to believe
Am I out of touch or out of reach
What would it take for you to walk towards me
I'm out of touch, out of reach
But I'm running towards you and it's all I believe
Come my way
Come Home
Anthony Evans
Drifting away so many times
searching for something I could never find
living live on my own
wondering why I felt so alone
knew I was wrong but my pride
stood in the way I was so blind
that's when I heard you say
those words that changed my life
Come home this is where you belong
In my arms it's been far too long
I've waited for this day to come
So my son
Please won't you come home
So I ran to you wondering why
I'd ever choose to leave you behind
Longing now for your love
Cause nothing I tried was ever enough
To satisfy my hearts desire
And mend my broken spirit inside
My whole world changed
when your voice I heard you said
Chorus
I was afraid all the pain I caused
would forever mean that I'd be lost
but no matter how far I run
you said I'd always be your son
Madrid, deshabitado como mi colchón
el verano en que me hice mayor,
y ella que ya no llama.
Tanta ciudad y tan poco por hacer,
gente que sueña su siesta y que
mira por la ventana.
Gente que miente por un trozo de calor,
que reza por que pare el ascensor,
atrapado contigo.
Madres que pieden a sus hijos al nacer,
buscando entre tus piernas lo que ayer
han dado por perdido.
Kilómetro Cero,
respira en el centro de la ciudad
el alma que se pierde al escapar.
Kilómetro Cero,
comienzo de los días que han de venir,
la lluvia que se derrama por ti.
Bares en los que la calma y la cerveza
salvan nuestra vida, y mi cabeza
soñando estar bajo tu ropa.
Promesas que se dicen en la cama,
luces que se clavan en tu espalda,
deja que yo te vista ahora.
Bajo unas ruedas mi mala sombra arrojaré,
quizás así interprete ese papel
en el que soy tu abrigo.
Mujeres que quizás hoy no puedas pagar
cuestionan con sus labios la verdad
de que aún seguimos vivos.
Kilómetro Cero,
respira en el centro de la ciudad
el alma que se pierde al escapar.
Kilómetro Cero,
comienzo de los días que han de venir,
la lluvia que se derrama por ti.
Kilómetro Cero,
respira en el centro de la ciudad
el alma que se pierde al escapar.
Kilómetro Cero,
comienzo de los días que vendrán,
la calma que nos trae tu tempestad.
Poundin' on the pavement, soundin' the alarm
Strangulation mama, why you do me harm
Graduation lover, turn me on a dime
Come around and see me when you find the time
I can't be certain, you can't deny
Who can be certain, when these things you hide
Come home...come home
Come home little woman wontcha leave me alone
Come home...come home

You should know better but these things you try

Come home...come home
Come home now baby, wontcha stay
Come home...come home
Come home little woman dontcha leave me alone
Come home...come home
Go on home. Don't you know I was the spy in the heart
of our home?
The double life of a provocateuris like the doctor who
won't provide the cure.
Come home. Nobody's waiting.
Come home. Somebody cares.
Come home. I left the light on.
Come home. Nobody's there.
Go on home. Don't you know I was the spy in the heart

The double life of a provocateuris like the doctor who

Come home. Nobody's waiting.
Come home. Somebody cares.
Come home. I'm at the freeway.
Come home. Nobody's there.
In the backseat of a blue fin mystery I hang my head
and cry.
Outside the night birds call. Early morning mists swim
free.
I'm at the bridge and the river's enraged.
I'm a bird but that bird's encaged.
I'm a free man otherwise engaged.
I'm a fool.
I'm a fool.
Go on home. Don't you know I was the spy in the heart

Come home. Nobody's waiting.
Come home. Somebody cares.
Come home. I left the light on.
Come home. Nobody's there.
In the dim light of the New Dawn I shake the cold out
of my hands.
The radio is on and I look for the lights of the road.
I say to myself, I'm at the bridge and the river's
enraged.
I'm a bird but that bird's encaged.
I'm a free man otherwise engaged.
I'm a fool.
I'm a fool.
Go on home. Don't you know I was the spy in the heart

I only miss you on my down days,
I don't know if that's selfish.
Don't know what I want from you,
But I'm lost,
I miss your sarcasm and your affection.
I see your friends and they ignore me,
Do they think that they're doin' you come kind of favour?
Well I'm lost,
I wish I could take a plane to somewhere new.
'Cause I'm cold in the winter-time,
Lonely at dinner-time,
Drunk at closing-time,
I think it's time you came home.
I think it's time you came home.
I only miss you on my down days,
I don't know if that's selfish,
But I know what I want from you,
'cause I'm lost.
I know what I want but I've forgotten what makes you
happy.
'Cause I'm cold in the winter-time,
Lonely at dinner-time,
Drunk at closing-time,
I think it's time you came home.
I think it's time you came home.
I'm cold in the winter-time,
Horny at dinner-time,
I'm confused at closing-time,
(Van Wijk)
I'm gonna learn to write
Before I get up enough nerve to give you invite.
(Give you invite)
I'm gonna stand up myself
Before I can help you make up your mind.
(You'll make up your mind)
I'd got ev'rything a poor boy needs,
So baby, take my lead,
(Take my lead)
Has a sunshine on a cloudy day,
So baby, come my way.
Now come my way, yeah,
Ah, come my way,
Now, now, now come my way!
See the birds in the trees
And I make belief that you're the only one.
(You're the only one)
I see love all around
And I'll made up my mind just to have me some.
(Just to have me some)
Has got ev'rything a boy might need,
So baby, take my lead,
(Take my lead)
Has a sunshine on a cloudy day,
So baby, come my way.
Now come my way, yeah,
Ah, come my way,

Playing in the rock'n'roll band,
That's what the people like.
(What all people like)
So I made up my mind
Just to go and do it right.
(Just to do it right)
I'd got ev'rything a poor boy needs,
So baby, take my lead,
(Take my lead)
Has a sunshine on a cloudy day,
So baby, come my way.

Now, now, now come my way!

Yesterday my radio came alive,
All those songs seemed to be written about my life.
Hearing "Ain't No Sunshine" makes me cry,
"The Whole Worlds Down On Me" &
"For The Good Times".
Come home and put the string back in my bow.
Come home for I have seeds I want to sow.
Forgive me that this song is not sung by me,
But my friend is more equipped to make this last
plea.
As minutes turn to hours & hours to days,
Desperate times command the cries. My heart says...
I swore I'd never write a song for you,
But look at all the useless things that I now do.
Here this house is empty but for blues,
And the
bathroom's full of shampoos that I don't
use.
Ain't no sunshine when you're gone,
It's not warm when you're away.
Ain't no sunshine when you're gone,
And this house just ain't a home,
All the time that you're away.
Come home, I'll never hurt you again,
I'll be your lifelong friend.
(This may sound corny but it's true)
Beautiful day
Shined when I needed that most
Shined on the church yard
Tin cans full of gold
Come on home
It's not too late
We can fall apart together
Beautiful girl smiles
When I need it the most
Smile on my heavy eyelids again
Come on home
It's not too late
You can fall apart together
Come on home
It's not too late
We can fall apart together
Fall apart together
Fall apart together
Fall apart together
Ooh, don't wait till
Come on home
It's not too late
We can fall apart together
Come on home
It's not too late
We can fall apart together
Le notti non finiscono
all'alba nella via
le porto a casa insieme a me
ne faccio melodia
e poi mi trovo a scrivere
chilometri di lettere
sperando di vederti ancora qui.
Inutile parlarne sai
non capiresti mai
seguirti fino all'alba e poi
vedere dove vai
mi sento un po' bambino ma
lo so con te non finirà
il sogno di sentirsi dentro un film.
Chorus
E poi all'improvviso
sei arrivata tu
non so chi l'ha deciso
m'hai preso sempre più
una quotidiana guerra
con la razionalità
ma va bene purchè serva
per farmi uscire.
Come mai, ma chi sarai
per fare questo a me
notti intere ad aspettarti
ad aspettare te
dimmi come mai, ma chi sarai
per farmi stare qui
qui seduto in una stanza
pregando per un sì.
Gli amici se sapessero
che sono proprio io
pensare che credevano
che fossi quasi un dio
perchè non mi fermavo mai
nessuna storia inutile
uccidersi d'amore
ma per chi?
Chorus
Lo sai all'improvviso
sei arrivata tu
non so chi l'ha deciso
m'hai preso sempre più
una quotidiana guerra
con la razionalità
ma va bene purchè serva
per farmi uscire.
Come mai, ma chi sarai
per fare questo a me
notti intere ad aspettarti
ad aspettare te
dimmi come mai, ma chi sarai
per farmi stare qui
qui seduto in una stanza
pregando per un sì.
I don't need no evidence
Written in a paper card
Saying that you miss me, that living alone is awfully hard
Just come home as soon as you can
Come home, don't ever leave again
Then together we will spend, every moment till the end
I don't want no diatribe
Telling me how you feel inside
Words can be quite vivid, but they can't bring you to me live
Chorus
Its Only 3,000 miles, give or take a few
Its only 3,000 miles, between my hands and you
I don't need no good luck charm
Hanging around my big old neck
Nothing in this world could make your being away correct
When the night comes a rolling in, my tears start rolling down
I think of us together, you know I miss you more than ever now
Just be with me I guarantee my love's gonna make it right
Just be with me without you in my life
I won't make it through another night
CHORUS:
Come home…please come home
Want you with me…please come back to me
Come home…please come home
Say you need me…come back to me
Come home...please come home
Want you with me me…please come back to me
Come home…please come home
I'll do anything if you
Come home
Oh..oh..uh..oh
Jealousy got the best of me and so I made you leave
Let's put it all behind us, it's time we let love find us once again
Just be with me I guarantee my love's gonna make things right
Just be with me without you in my life
I won't make it through another night
CHORUS:
Come home…please come home
Want you with me…please come back to me
Come home…please come home
Say you need me…come back to me
Come home..please come home
Want you with me me…please come back to me
Come home…please come home
I'll do anything if you
Come home
Oh..oh..uh..oh
Just be with me I wanna feel my body wrapped up in your love
Just be with me withoutyou in my life
I won't make it through another night
CHORUS:
Come home…please come home
Want you with me…please come back to me
Come home…please come home
Say you need me…come back to me
Come home...please come home
Want you with me me…please come back to me
Come home…please come home
I'll do anything if you
Come home
Please come home
Want you with me…please come back to me
Come home…please come home
You know I need you…come back to me
Come home...please come home
Say you want me…please come back to me
Aw--come on…please come home

The sun we knew the darkest

and though my eyes are so sad
and though my eyes are so said
come home to me now
I watch you fade away

[Verse 1:]
Oooh yey yeah yeeey

There was a time when all I wanted to do
Was the only things that mattered to me (yeeah)
But when a man and a woman builds their home
A man's gotta do what his family needs him to do
[Chorus:]
When I come home everything should be alright
So mammy hold on everything will be just fine
So when I'm coming everything should be alright
So baby hold on everything will be just fine
[Verse 2:]
Sad I know you I know you miss the day
And I know the children too
So many times I'm not far away
It's not a few that carry me through the day
It's not easy for a man to live this way
But I do that why I pray
[Chorus:]
When I come home everything should be alright
So mammy hold on everything will be just fine
So when I'm coming everything should be alright
So baby hold on everything will be just fine
[Bridge:]
Hooold on mmmmmm...
Hooold on
You've got to hoooold on
You just tell her hooold on
Eeeh
[Chorus:]
When I come home everything should be alright
So mammy hold on everything will be just fine
So when I'm coming everything should be alright
Called in sick to work today, I couldn't have gotten a damn thing done anyhow.
Made myself some coffee and I listened to the rain rattling leaves, yeah.
I told myself there's nothing wrong and stared right through the paper for a
long, long time
Stuck inside your dream so long it wears you down and grows you old....and
that's a fact
Cold light comes to clear the fog away from time to time....it'll be back soon
I used to think that justice had to rule for happy lives, but now I'm not so
sure at all
Come home
Why don't you come home I could not remember why you left
And I'd rather been happy than right this time
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Called my dad to check in and to maybe find some common sense...more or less
He says "common sense is such a scam", and I'm like 'Dad, what do you mean?, oh'
He says "you're either wrong or right and life will go on either way, whatever
you chose"....but I know...
That anger's all right..and bitterness no.
Cold uncontrollably sad, and unable to let it go.
And it should be as easy as telling a scab from a scar
Well I don't know (repeats x6)
We say it's okay to leave it alone
But i want u to notice
This case isn't closed
Doors are open
The lights are left on
And there's never a night I sleep
With the dreams that I'd have if u never decided
Decided to leave
Decided
Decided to leave...
There's never an ounce that I breathe
Without thinking about
Who i could have been with you
There's never an ounce that I breathe
Without thinking about
Who I could have been if you didn't leave
The phone's been patient to hear your call
But you never touched the dial
You never touched the dial, now I know
There's someone I wish walked through these halls
But you'll never take the chance to come home
So come home
You say we can learn from this
But I just don't know
What to do without you anymore
Your absence has taken it's toll on me
What i should believe
I just cant believe
There's never an ounce that i breathe
Without thinking about who i could have been with you
There's never an ounce that i breathe without thinking about who i could have been if you didn't leave
The phones been patient to hear your call
But you never touched the dial
Never touched the dial
And now i know
There's someone i wish walked through these halls
But you never take the chance to come home
So come home
You say it isn't my fault
So i steer away
I put off the pain
For another day
You think it wouldn't be tough
8 years were never enough
I'll wait for you
If you'll never change
I will be okay
But I'll still stay up for you
Just in case you make the time for the right move
The phone's been patient to hear your call
But you never touched the dial
You never touched the dial
And now i know
There's someone i wished walked through these halls
But you'll never take the chance to come home
So come home
There's someone i wished walked through these halls
But you never touched the dial
You'll never touch the dial
And now i know
The phones been patient to hear your call
But you'll never take the chance to come home
And you'll never take the chance to come home
1. You came into the family through Jesus' precious blood
You tasted of His goodness and His love
He showered you with blessings, He's building you a home
But somehow on your journey, you're standing all alone
2. You wandered far from homeland, down paths so dark and cold
In search of all the pleasures you could hold
Freedom bought you bondage; rebellion bought you fear
Jesus stands behind you; and homeland is so near
(Chorus)
Come home, your Father really loves you
Come home, it's where you want to be
It's place of peace and comfort, shelter from the storm
Don't wait another moment, come home
3. Remember how it used to be when fellowship was sweet
The time well spent in worship at His feet
You know it doesn't really matter how long you've been away
Just let His Spirit cleanse you and be restored today, today
Repeat Chorus
Tag:
It's place of peace and comfort, shelter from the storm
Don't wait another moment
For He stands with arms wide open
Please don't wait another moment, come home
You thought that you could make it
all alone in this old world
You said now that I'm grown
I'm gonna make it on my own
You've turned your back on God and walked away
Now if these words sound farmiliar
if they apply to you
Please don't hesitate
tomorrow might be too late
Give your life to Him and turn from sin(Turn from sin)
(chorus)
Come home, to the place where you belong
Come home, to an old farmiliar song
Come home, to the savior's open arms you've strayed away too long
You don't have to wait another hour/ he will take you in just as you are
Ne remets pas à la dernière heure/Il veut t'accepter tel que tu es
(chorus)
You've strayed away too long
You've strayed away and now you should come home....
You've strayed away
R: I cried once, I cried twice
Since you were gone
I prayed once, I prayed twice
For you to come home
1. Before you take my heart away
Look in my eyes again and say
I don’t feel anything no more
Then walk away and close the door
Memories are gone I am all alone
It’s too late to cry, for my sins I pay
I need one more day, don’t say goodbye
R: I cried once, I cried twice
Since you were gone
I prayed once, I prayed twice
For you to come home
Memories are gone….
Memories are gone….
2. There’s no happiness for me
No more tomorrow no more dreams
You took away my shining star
There’s nothing left inside my heart
Memories are gone I am all alone
It’s too late to cry, for my sins I pay
I need one more day, don’t say goodbye
R: I cried once, I cried twice
Since you were gone
I prayed once, I prayed twice
For you to come home
Memories are gone…
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Layin' in my room
Steady thinking about chu
And all the good times that we've had
And all the times you made me laugh
Where did it all go?
Why am I here all alone?
This ain't my life and the way this posed to be
It's supposed to be you here with me
Take all my money, take all my clothes
Take every beatin' of my soul, I don't need it
Tell me what I've got
What I had I already lost
Take my house, take my cars
'Cause I can't live without my heart
I'm down on my knees and I'm letting go
I'm begging you to come home
I know I've hurt you in the past
I know I've made you sad
But what more can I do
To show you everything I say is true
So many sleepless nights
So many crying nights
I just want you to see
Just how much you mean to me
Take all my money, take all my clothes
Take every beatin' of my soul, I don't need it
Tell me what I've got
What I had I already lost
Take my house, take my cars
'Cause I can't live without my heart
I'm down on my knees and I'm letting go
I'm begging you to come home
I can't stand to see us this way
(I can't stand to see us this way)
And I can't stand to wake each morning
And not see your face
No matter what
I'm willing to pay the price
Just to have him
Just to have him in my life
Take all my money, take all my clothes
Take every beatin' of my soul, I don't need it
Tell me what I've got
What I had I already lost
Take my house, take my cars
'Cause I can't live without my heart
I'm down on my knees and I'm letting go
I'm begging you to come home
(Come home)
4, 3, 2
I can't take this holding back
I can tell you this is bad
I love you and I need you
And it hurts when I can't see
Miss that feeling in my gut
When we kiss and when we hug
No more dreaming of our love
Reminiscing ain't enough
You ain't holding me now and consoling me now
I'm in this lonely house, feeling lonely now
Take the money, take the keys
Take the clothes, take it all
'Cause without his love I continue to grow
Take all my money, take all my clothes
Take every beatin' of my soul, I don't need it
Tell me what I've got
What I had I already lost
Take my house, take my cars
'Cause I can't live without my heart
I'm down on my knees and I'm letting go
You left here on your dirty feet
But you're gonna come home on the train
You left here on your shoe leather
But you're gonna come home on the train
You left here on your limousine
But you're gonna come home on the train
When you left here you were putting on airs
Everyone looked and everyone stared
But there's gonna come a day when no one cares
When you climb up on that train
No matter what you bought or sold
The only thing you'll have to hold
Is the love you've loved and the truth you've told
When you climb up on that train
I let you go
I saw the signs
You were so cold
I was unkind
You turned my lies
Into your lust
Now I just can't disguise
My failure to forget this stuff, because
Our little world is only big enough for us
Come home
I've lost the will to go on alone
Come home
I don't know what you want, but I know that you need to be loved
The desert skies
Will cry for us
In the land of forgotten smiles
Die our forgotten trust
The old desires
Burned in the sunshine and
All the years of our tender disunion
And I will always be here to hear you in the place where you belong.
Come home
I've lost the will to go on alone
Come home
[Verse 1]
Hello world
Hope you're listening
Forgive me if I’m young
For speaking out of turn
There’s someone I’ve been missing
I think that they could be
The better half of me
They’re in their own place trying to make it right
But I’m tired of justifying
So i say to you
[Chorus]
Come home
Come home
Cause I’ve been waiting for you
For so long
For so long
And right now there's a war between the vanities
But all i see is you and me
The fight for you is all I’ve ever known
So come home
Oooh
[Verse 2]
I get lost in the beauty
Of everything i see
The world ain’t as half as bad
As they paint it to be
If all the sons
If all the daughters
Stopped to take it in
Well hopefully the hate subsides and the love can begin
It might start now..Yeahh
Well maybe I’m just dreaming out loud
Until then
[Chorus]
Come home
Come home
Cause I’ve been waiting for you
For so long
For so long
And right now there's a war between the vanities
But all i see is you and me
The fight for you is all I’ve ever known
Ever known
So come home
Oooh
[Interlude]
Everything i can’t be
Is everything you should be
And that’s why i need you here
Everything i can’t be
Is everything you should be
And that’s why i need you here
So hear this now
[Chorus]
Come home
Come home
Cause I’ve been waiting for you
For so long
For so long
And right now there's a war between the vanities
But all i see is you and me
The fight for you is all I’ve ever known
Ever known
So come home
'flying between two worlds. with endless space, with
endless time'
'boundries of the mind'
'sound of love, glowing inside, without boundries of the
Well that phone doesn't ring when you want it to
And it isn't your dream on the line
It's just dad telling mom to have dinner without him
'Cause he won't be coming home on time
Well there's always that dance to escape to
But that doesn't always work out
You don't have a date; you're not going alone
Isn't it nice to know you can still come home?
Well you don't have a million friends to speak of
But a best one is all that you need - oh
Growing up so strong but you're not made of stone
Isn't it nice to come home?
In the real world you're not always welcome
And all's not forgive and forget
It's a cruel world without understanding
And little one it's not over yet
Well you never can trust a stranger
So you may as well give up this fight - oh
Your best friend's are waiting in the living room
The first time that I saw you You blew my mind
You made me take a look inside I couldn't hide
Never thought I could feel this way About someone
I don't know much about life But I know you're the one
Come to me
So come to me I like to be the one you need So come to me Then you will see what you mean to me Please come to me...............
My heart has been broken So many times
But you turned darkness into light You made me smile
Never thought I could feel this way About someone
I don't know much about life But I know you're the one
Come to me
Woke up with this feeling yesterday
That I have no reasons left to stay
I'd be better off gone
Then sit here too long
With my suitcase packed
Down a one way track
I wanna see the world
Like a bird I wanna soar
To and from with no strings
Or hidden lies that make me scream
Before you ask me to stay
I swear I'll come back home, come May
Picked up the Daily News & Morning Star
Nothing's here, I find no part
Everyone seems the same
Forgotten dreams hide their face
With their suitcases packed
Down a one way track
I wanna see the world
Like a bird I wanna soar
To and from with no strings
Or hidden lies that make me scream
Before you ask me to stay
I swear I'll come back home, come May
Have you seen what you wanted to see?
Or ended up where you expected to be?
One more thing before you stay
Where will you find yourself come May?
With a suitcase packed?
Down a one way track?
I wanna see the world
Like a bird I wanna soar
To and from with no strings
Or hidden lies that make me scream
Before you ask me to stay
I swear I'll come back home, come May
I wonder where you are
I bet I'd find you wishing on a star
I hope you find your place
Darling its about time to break free of
hands and claws holding down the love
Take us to a safer place where we can break out of the
daze
so weaved together say its forever
Come home soon
Shifting moods
Mysteries drive us all
your poisonous loves our fall
Caught a ghost smile slipping out the door fast
There is no guarantee he said and the laughed
never mind the history it slowly walks away you will see
so weaved together say its forever
Come home soon
Shifting moods
Mysteries drive us all
I looked out across the field
At the sundown gold
Don't feel so young anymore
But sure don't feel old
And I remember you as a child
Running 'round free
You would play through the day into nighttime
Till you could not see
Chorus
Come home - come home
Night is falling but the lights are on
Come home - come home
Night is falling and it won't be long
I'll turn my head
And you'll be grown
I stood in the dark by the window
Lookin' for your lights
I sleep better knowing everybody's home
And everybody's alright
Just one of those things that happen
When you care so much
And you pray to keep from worryin'
Then you worry you ain't prayin' enough
Repeat Chorus
We are all just children - even your momma and me
And everybody gone before us
From this family
And God, the good, good Father watches
Those He call His own
And one day when we're through growin'
He's gonna call us home and he'll say
Come home - come home
Night is falling but the lights goes on
Come home - come home
Night had fallin and it's been so long
Since we've been together
Gonna be here forever
Baby get ready you don’t want to miss
To see regret dance around my lips
I’m sorry for the things I’ve done to get you down
I’ve had a lot of things running through my mind
My heart agrees that I’m selfish and blind
I once was lost, but now I’m found
This town ain’t much to look at
But I swear to you if you take me back
I’ll drive you anywhere, anywhere you want to go
Time is at hand if it’s what you need
then I’ll pray to God and I’ll beg and plead
Because I can’t spend another night alone
Come home
I once was blind but now I can see
The things in the past that you’ve done for me
This house sure is cold with you not around
I’m going crazy I’m staring at the wall
The lines are wide open baby give me a call
Don’t let the bridge I burned fall down.
This town ain’t much to look at
But I swear to you if you take me back
I’ll drive you anywhere, anywhere you want to go
Time is at hand if it’s what you need
then I’ll pray to God and I’ll beg and plead
Because I can’t spend another night alone
( Instrumental )
Long day
stabbing at shadows
blank eyed, just staring out windows
he's gone, left me again
same song on permanent repeat,
a Big Dog on a thin leash,these thoughts,
have got me lost and wondering
where he's been
and who he's kissing
Come home
Come home, stop wandering
come home,
back to the home of me
Just like a nicotine addict
I'm craving drama for my fix
my past has seized the day
filling the silence with static,
sifting through his shiny garbage
I can't win the war
when I'm fighting myself
with the shells of my own thinking
Come home
Come home, stop wandering
come home, back to the home of me
home, safe inside of my tiny prayers
nothing out there can harm me
Come home
Come home, this tortures me
come home, back to the

It hurts me to see you this way
I can't sleep, I'm lying awake
Wondering what you're battling tonight
You've bought into all of the lies
And you've buried your fears inside
Haunted by a past you can't erase
What will it take
There's no mistaking
Only one place you belong
Please come home
Please come home
The door is open wide
You don't have to fix your life for me
I die a little every time that you leave
So come home
Your voice rings inside my ears
I'm fighting to hold back the tears
How can I make you see while there's still time
What will it take
There's no mistaking
Only one place you belong
Please come home
Please come home
The door is open wide
You don't have to fix your life for me
I die a little every time that you leave
So come home
You're not a disappointment to me
You're just like the rest of us
Struggling through the journey
I don't care what secrets you may keep
I could never love you less
Than all the love inside of me
Please come home
Please come home
The door is open wide
You don't have to fix your life for me
I die a little every time that you leave
When he comes along,
The world will know that we were meant to be.
When he comes along,
He'll dedicate songs & go that extra mile for me.
I get excited and I smile.
'Cause it's worth having to wait a while.
Love, love never ever runs out of style.
Patience is a virtue,
A virtue that is easier to preach.
But practicing makes perfect,
And the point of it is worth it.
It's not that impossible to reach.
I get excited and I smile.
'Cause it's worth having to wait a while.
Love, love never ever runs out of style.
And I know you're out there,
Preparing your heart for me.
And there's no more time to compromise what's written for you and me.
Just know that when I say,
That'll I'll pray for you,
I will follow through everyday.
I can't wait until you come my way.
I've been made a fool,
Fooled by many others before.
So I can be a skeptic,
But it's time for me to forget it.
I refuse to let it jade me.
I refuse to let it shake me.
I refuse to let it break me anymore.
I get excited and I smile.
'Cause it's worth having to wait a while.
Love, love never ever runs out of style.
And I know you're out there,
Preparing your heart for me.
And there's no more time to compromise what's written for you and me.
Just know that when I say,
That'll I'll pray for you,
I will follow through everyday.
[Verse One]
A father sits on his porch reminiscing
About a time when him and his son weren't so distant
And how he misses him
And how if he could just see him again he would run and hug him and kiss him
Miles away a son is thinking the same thing
Until his man hollers and interrupts his day dream
Back to work, but his back it hurts
He's been thinking lately about going back to church
Cuz that would kind of remind him of his roots
Of a time when he wasn't grinding shining others boots
But that's the best he can do now
He's too proud to stay at the group home
Was on his own since he was juvenile
So he sleeps on the streets, using concrete for sheets
And he eats when he eats, and it's so cold
He looks so old but he's young
He hung in the bars all types of scars
Life beat him down it was no holds barred
It's been six years-twenty days
Since he's been gone but how did he get here anyway?
This wasn't how it was supposed to be
Think back to the day before he chose to leave
When he stepped to his dad and he asked for the cash
That he would receive after his dad passed
So that's what he gave him
The father was bothered by the request but after a while he caved in
Said "all of the wealth that I've earned
And saved up must pay for the lessons my son must learn
And I pray that he learns when this is done
This is my one wish for my youngest son"
[Chorus]
How long, how long will the prodigal roam
How long, how long before he comes home
How long, how long will he chase harm
And keep running away from the father's arms
Young, come home
Son, come home
Run, come home
Run, come home
Daughter, come home
You ought to, come home
Run, come home
Run, come home
[Verse Two]
The saga continues
The father gave into the son the son left with his friends who
Really had no cash of their own
Just running the same track wanting too fast to be grown
They figured with these figures in our pockets
We can invest these digits and get even richer than your pop is
Find ourselves a nice good hustle
Buy some protection, find some hood muscle
As soon as we get to another city
We can put this money to work for ourselves and get busy
Buying houses, fixing them up and flipping them
I can just picture getting the dividends rolling in like Michelins
From the time they arrived on the scene
They thrived with his father's business sense in his genes
Of the three he proved to be the smartest
Buy targeted the hottest commodities on the market
They went from knowing and going to the parties
To being the ones with the dough throwing all the parties
Made money money made money money money
And wanted to date honeys so he paid money money
He was killing it, stocking up his chips
Til the economy switched, stock market flipped
At first his properties flying, today nothing's popping
Stocks dropping, nobodies buying
He's over extended in his credit
Selling his cars and cribs to try to pay his dept with
He's left with nada
Friends gone, females bon-voyaged and no one will bother
Is this what chasing pleasure and wealth does
Leaves you out freezing with no help and shelter?
It's helter skelter in his dome
He spends all his time wondering why he left home
[Chorus]
[Verse Three]
Does this sound familiar
I'm sure it's similar the symbolism is bound to kill ya
Who else do we know
That would leave the safety of a loving Father wandering trying to go
To a distant place, and dis His grace
Just to waste His mercy making big mistakes
Then when all is lost and the bridges are burned
And they realize there's nowhere else that they can turn
They turn to the steeple and return to the sheepfold
Isn't that just like God's people?
In every era of time
God's people made the error of severing the ties
With the Father and His love
Aren't you glad He treats us like the father of the prodigal does
When the son finally came to his senses
He realized it was better inside his father fences
Said I wonder if I would returned there
Would I be able to last under the burn of His holy stare
But wasn't aware that the same eyes that hate sin
Had been watching the road and waitin to for him to return again
