Lyrics
I'm Coming Home
Put the candles in the windows
Put the kettle on the stove
Turn the porch lights on, and kill the shadows
'Cause here I am, I’m coming home
Been swirling ‘round for so long
Like dust on an old dirt road
Somehow, I lost the promise
Never asked forgiveness, anyhow
So here I am, I’m coming home
Let the rain come pouring down
Let the pain soak through the ground
‘Cause here I am, I’m coming home
Letters that I’ve written
Ink stained with regret
Shoved in my work shirt pocket
So I don’t forget
Folded near my heart
But never sent
Here I am
I’m coming home
