Come On Home

Stephan Eicher · Engelberg [1991]

Come on home, come on home

You're too long gone, please come home



Seems like a lifetime since you walked out that door

It's only perfume who stayed a little more

Do I remember the color of your eyes ?

Is it green or grey, grey or blue - what did we do ?



Come on home, you're too long gone

I'll sink like a stone if you don't come home



It was a quiet word, it sounded like breaking

Sounded like my little world, like the end of it

I'm dancing with a shadow, hanging in the air

Like some forgotten arrow, I'm flying nowhere



Nobody slams doors like you do

And nobody loves like you when you do



Come on home, you're too long gone

I'll sink like a stone if you don't come home



Come up the stairs, take out your key

Open that door and lay between the sheets and me



Come on home, you're too long gone

I'll sink like a stone if you don't come home



I stare at the phone, waiting for the tone

If you ever were alone, come on, sing along.
