Pierce Pettis - Come Home lyrics
I remember how you loved this holy city in the spring Fresh flowers in the market, Children running in the street But it's changed so much I don't think you would recognize a thing Now it's just a red light district an international disgrace Come home......come home You've been gone so long Come home Papers and petitions have been piling at the door nailed to the door Theives break in at night they say you want be back no more Your wife seems so lethargic, so scattered and so frail And the child who's never known you just stands at the wall and wails Come home......come home You've been gone so long Come home Yellow ribbons 'round the olive trees you planted in the park Only the brave or the foolish ever walk there after dark All around the world a table's set and there's an empty place Still we go through the motions breaking bread and saying grace But the ones you left to run your business run it right into the ground Each one a law into himself leading followers around And in the babble of the street amid the jostling of the crowd On every side like helpless sheep It makes me want to cry out loud Yellow ribbons 'round the olive trees you planted in the park Only the brave or the foolish ever walk there after dark All around the world a table's set and there's an empty place Still we go through the motions breaking bread and saying grace But the ones you left to run your business run it right into the ground Each one a law into himself leading followers around And in the babble of the street amid the jostling of the crowd On every side like helpless sheep It makes me want to cry out loud Come home......come home You've been gone so long Come home |
