Homecoming

Lyrics for Homecoming

Give thanks to your mother, a flawless construction You override every single instruction I don't stand a chance if you might decide To call me and tell me you're back in my life I'll live on forever after I die As electrical impulses inside your mind And when I am older, from time to time I'll look back and think I can't believe You were once mine And if our bare children, when they're grown Tall enough to have a pair of their own I'll tell all the grandkids about an old life This street proceeding, a grey widowed wife Your name is mentioned, right on the cusp That lingers a feeling I kept just for us Planted a cross on what's over and done I'll look back and say I can't believe True love is gone I can't sleep, I'm dreaming of you My heart goes round again I'll open the darkness, face way round the bend Beyond space and time for an alternate end And I'll meet my maker, Eden is through A God who has burned down the house of Oryu My final inferno, to finish the round Hell is my haven, a home for the sound And when it is over, from time to time Every atom will whisper for me You were once mine
