Come Back Home

I wrote this last October when my girlfriend left for bootcamp in the air force.

You got me wide awake in the middle of the night
Fireplace is burning hot
I know what I need and I know what I want
It's none of what I got
I'll walk the widest valley
Swim the deepest sea
To stand next to the one I love
And her to stand next to me

Why did you leave me all alone
Why did you leave me on my own
When will you be coming back home

That lonesome train is whistling
Heading for the coast
Inside I'm blue, all because of you
Empty just like a ghost
Got no reason anymore
To stand up by myself
I'll just stay put, not move anywhere
Like a book upon my shelf

Why did you leave me all alone
Why did you leave me on my own
When will you be coming back home

Sometimes we all need a little good luck
We all need a break once in awhile
My good fortune never came for a price
It came from my gal's smile
Here I am walking a dead end street
Near the house I was born
Tell me when you'll be coming back again
To keep me warm

Why did you leave me all alone
Why did you leave me on my own
When will you be coming back home
