Come back home Lyrics

The billy lord band - come back home

The boy held a letter
He received today.
He hadn't heard from mum and dad
Since he ran away
Without hesitation.
He read every line;
He thought that this would be
Their final good-bye.


But the words of the letter
Took him by surprise.
He could barely finish
As the tears filled his eyes.
He couldn't see how they could care
About him anymore;
But the words of the letter
Said they never closed the door.

Come back home.
Son, we miss you here tonight.
Come back home
Where arms ache to hold you tight.
Forgiveness is forever
No matter what's been done.
This is where you belong -
Come back home...

He packed in a hurry
And headed down the road.
He wrestled with his thoughts;
Should he stay or should he go?
His heart started racing
When he saw the city sign;
But the words of the letter
Never left his mind.

Come back home.
Son, we miss you here tonight.
Come back home
Where arms ache to hold you tight.
Forgiveness is forever
No matter what's been done.
This is where you belong -
Come back home...

Picking up the pay phone
His courage drained away.
All the months of silence -
And now what would he say?

But the silence was broken
When is daddy said, 'hello'.
So he said, 'Dad I got the letter,
But I still need to know
Is the door still open
And will you take me in?'
And though a trembling whisper
He heard these words again:

Come back home.
Son, we miss you here tonight.
Come back home
Where arms ache to hold you tight.
Forgiveness is forever
No matter what's been done.
This is where you belong -
Come back home...

... this is where you belong - come back home...
