"When's he coming home?" Waiting by the door
You know you break my heart. It's hard on me, you know
"When's he coming home?" Nose pressed 'gainst the glass
You tear me up inside. I miss him too, you know

It may be natural, but so is suffering
He's been gone for such a long long time
It takes all that I've got just to hold it in
When you meekly murmur his name

"When's he coming home?" Arms stretched reaching out
I know you're hurt so deep, you're all I've got, you know
"When's he coming home?" Stubborn tears of hope
It's much too hard to bear. We're all alone, you know

It may be clinical thought that you're perfectly sound
But you should be able to see he's gone
You're listening for a voice which cannot respond
When you meekly murmur his name

"When's he coming home?" Patience undeterred
You need to let him go. It's time to move ahead
