I’ve come to my senses How did I get so far from home The lies dissipating Revealing I’m so alone And I remember now how strong love can be And I wonder how did I ever leave
Burn your fire on the altar Leave a candle on the porch I’m still too far away to see it But I’m aching for its warmth And I’m so tired and cold and dark and lonesome But still I hear your song inside So sing it louder if you want me home tonight Sing it loud now, ‘cause I’m comin’ home tonight
This isn’t the first time I’ve wandered away from home before You’d have every reason To slam and dead-bolt the door But I remember now how strong your love can be And I wonder how you might welcome me
Burn your fire on the altar Leave a candle on the porch I’m still too far away to see it But I’m aching for its warmth And I’m so tired and cold and dark and lonesome But still I hear your song inside So sing it louder if you want me home tonight Sing it loud now, ‘cause I’m comin’ home tonight
Into your arms, to my back yard Where I used to play How I miss the days...
So burn your fire on the altar Leave a candle on the porch I’m still too far away to see it But I’m aching for its warmth And I’m so tired and cold and dark and lonesome But still I hear your song inside So sing it louder if you want me home tonight Sing it loud now, ‘cause I’m comin’ home tonight
