Come home
the lamp is lit
I’m waiting, watching
the road’s been cleared
I’ll run to meet you
Come home
your every need
I have provided
your every care
is paid and settled
Come home
child of mine
there’s a place for you
bone of my bone
I’ve dusted off your ring and robe
Child
child of mine
I’ll call for a feast
flesh of my flesh
you belong to me
come home
