When You Come Home Songtext
von Christopher Cross

Now the days crawl by
And every night I die
Since youve been gone
The dark still brings the dawn
But baby what do I care
But when you walk in that door
It wont be like before
No you
No me
Just us eternally
This babe I swear
When you come home
You will find a different man
Cause I learned a thing or two
Tryin to live here without you
When you come home
Ill give everything I can
Well go back where we began when you come home
Now a woman can be so strong
And a man can be so wrong


So here I stand
A tiny sea of teardrops in each hand
Praying youll return
When you come home
I will hand my life to you
Cause I see the bad Ive done
Lookin out for number one
When you come home
Ill make every pleasure new
And youll know a love so true when you come home
I can see our life so crystal clear
But I lose my mind when youre not here
And the clocks so loud and the sheets are cold
And my heads on fire and my hearts on hold
And the days too bright and the nights so dark
And my insides ache like a hungry shark
And there aint no dope that can kill this pain
Cause I smell your skin in the pouring rain
Come home baby
Ive done time for my offense
You can be back home today
Cause my love will light your way
Come on home
We will live in present tense
And my world will all make sense
When you come home
Let forgiveness warm the night
And Ill trade in all my lies
For the soul behind your eyes
When you come home
When you come home
If... you come home
