I'll Always Come Home |
LyricsI'LL ALWAYS COME HOME @Fred Israel 1997Even when we lived sirens away across a great divide down dark alleyways when telephone lines were our monorails and monoliths and crosstown traffic played it's city surf and outbursts and exclamations honked like truck horns in the night rolling through tears two eggs fryin' on love's pavement changing the foothold at the roots of our fears (chorus) somehow I knew the pain by which we grew would lead me to know myself better. Even when you lurk in the dark I see a spark and I'll always come home to you. Once in a moon I'd want to hide from the restless distraction of amusement park rides to take down my face in some kindred place confess and confide with no sense of pace (chorus) boundaries erased invitation I could taste Oh I danced with the chance but I always came home to you. And when we drank ourselves cloudy and echoes bounced loudly and proudly cross an already roudy universe When you couldn't make up your mind and I couldn't find time nothing was spoken in action or verse (chorus) When you painted me black I was blinded by light with nothing to hold nothing was told I needed contact so I seized the night (chorus) stars a drippin', moon anew I was hard at work chasing my dreams but I always came home to you. Now that you've turned back to your roots safe from my face and the gaze of my warm burning truth I'm left alone holding a full pale of sand with a magnifying glass and searchlight in my hand when I turn my vision in to see what's hiding there way down under the thunder in frozen despair It's been so long since I've greeted myself and so I come home to revel in the view (chorus) And here's to my spirit my soul is my friend. I swear I'll never abandon you again I'll always come home.....I'll always come home |
