Christopher Cross When You Come Home
Now the days crawl by
And every night I die
Since youÂ've been gone
The dark still brings the dawn
But baby what do I care
But when you walk in that door
It wonÂ't 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
TryinÂ' to live here without you
When you come home
IÂ'll give everything I can
WeÂ'll 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 youÂ'll return
When you come home
I will hand my life to you
‘Cause I see the bad IÂ've done
LookinÂ' out for number one
When you come home
IÂ'll make every pleasure new
And youÂ'll know a love so true when you come home
I can see our life so crystal clear
But I lose my mind when youÂ're not here
And the clockÂ's so loud and the sheets are cold
And my headÂ's on fire and my heartÂ's on hold
And the dayÂ's too bright and the nightÂ's so dark
And my insides ache like a hungry shark
And there ainÂ't no dope that can kill this pain
‘Cause I smell your skin in the pouring rain
Come home baby
IÂ've 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 IÂ'll trade in all my lies
For the soul behind your eyes
When you come home
When you come home
If... you come home
