What Did I Ever Come Here For

I've been gone for so long and how I've missed you

My heart was aching for home

And then one night as I lay down, somewhere far from you

I dreamt that I heard you call my name, but my mind was playing games

I knew right then that I'd returned, to where I was before

And I was so tired of being away that I just couldn't stay anymore

What did I ever come here for

What did I ever come here for



I thought if I showed up in the night, in my best disguise

There at your doorway and your porchlight,

That you would look into my eyes

And you would realize who I am, put your arms around me

You're going to love me so much more, than you ever did before

What did I ever come here for

What did I ever come here for



It wasn't too long before I showed up at your door

I'd been gone a thousand miles

I didn't know how much more I could stand, if I could stand at all

You said I looked like I'd been through world war two

And my soul was worn right through

I thought you would read my mind, I thought you'd ask me to stay

You'd never turned me away like before

But you closed the door anyway

What did I ever come here for

What did I ever come here for

What did I ever come here for

What did I ever come here for
