Now the days crawl by
|
And every night I die
|
Since you've been gone
|
The dark still brings the dawn
|
But baby what do I care
|
But when you walk in that door
|
It won't be like before
|
No you
|
No me
|
Just us eternally
|
This babe I swear
|
When you come home
|
You will find a different man
|
'Cause I learned a thing or two
|
Tryin' to live here without you
|
When you come home
|
I'll give everything I can
|
We'll go back where we began when you come home
|
Now a woman can be so strong
|
And a man can be so wrong
|
So here I stand
|
A tiny sea of teardrops in each hand
|
Praying you'll return
|
When you come home
|
I will hand my life to you
|
'Cause I see the bad I've done
|
Lookin' out for number one
|
When you come home
|
I'll make every pleasure new
|
And you'll know a love so true when you come home
|
I can see our life so crystal clear
|
But I lose my mind when you're not here
|
And the clock's so loud and the sheets are cold
|
And my head's on fire and my heart's on hold
|
And the day's too bright and the night's so dark
|
And my insides ache like a hungry shark
|
And there ain't no dope that can kill this pain
|
'Cause I smell your skin in the pouring rain
|
Come home baby
|
I've done time for my offense
|
You can be back home today
|
'Cause my love will light your way
|
Come on home
|
We will live in present tense
|
And my world will all make sense
|
When you come home
|
Let forgiveness warm the night
|
And I'll trade in all my lies
|
For the soul behind your eyes
|
When you come home
|
When you come home
|
If...you come home
|
|

When You Come Home
