Coming Home
© ian parker - march 2006
Well now it seems so long since I held you in my arms
I don't know how to hold on to your heart
How to make you see that I won't ever cause you any harm
And I just need, I need, I need, I need to make you understand
That without you next to me baby
I'm a cold and empty man
Even though it seems to be that
It's all gone wrong
I need to believe in you baby
And to know that despite all my fears
You really are coming home
I don't blame you baby for taking stock
And putting me to the test
I'll prove myself in all I do and all I say
And I won't take a moments rest
And even though it's me who always goes away and throws away
The love for which we both put everything on the line
You have to know that I'm hurting baby and it's you who's walking out this time
Too many nights I spend all alone here
Just drinking and thinking and sinking, trying to fill the void
Just reminiscing and it's you that I am missing
When I think of all the good times that we have enjoyed
So I put on another sad song
And open up myself another bottle of wine
Yeah and I know I'm feeling sorry for myself
But I paid for this pain and these tears are all mine
Now baby, baby, baby, baby don't keep me waiting here any more
When I lose my way and I need a friend baby
It's you I'm searching for
Are you coming home?
Oh baby, please come home
As I draw the dregs from the bottle
The bottle at my side
I close my eyes
See you coming back to me
And every little thing is just fine
