I feel a change in the weather,
|
I feel a change in me,
|
The days are getting shorter and the birds begin to leave,
|
Even me, yes, yes, y'all,
|
Who has been so long alone,
|
I'm headed home,
|
Headed home
|
|
The nights are getting colder now,
|
The air is getting crisp,
|
I first tasted the universe on a night like this,
|
A box of wine, and I'll abide,
|
In the hunger in her eyes,
|
In a place where the tree of good and evil still resides,
|
Still resides
|
|
Homecoming,
|
Homecoming, homecoming,
|
|
She said "show me what you got, babe,
|
I'm not like other girls",
|
Just give me your bad self
|
And a place for us to make a stand and I can move the world
|
Lift the valley from the floor, honey,
|
It'll turn to the sky,
|
They'll say that it's a miracle and you'll know damn well they're right,
|
Damn well they're right
|
|
Homecoming, (Don't go away now)
|
Homecoming, homecoming, (Don't go away now)
|
Homecoming, (Don't go away now)
|
Homecoming, homecoming, (Don't go away now)
|
|
(Hey now)
|
When the oracle spoke to me she was like a roadside song, (Don't go away now)
|
Do unto others as you would have them do,
|
Even if in turn they do you wrong, (Hey now)
|
This town right here is my everything,
|
Though I've been torn away, (Don't go away now)
|
|
It has my heart,
|
It has my heart,
|
They stole my heart,
|
My heart is there, (Hey now)
|
My heart is there,
|
My heart is there, (Don't go away now)
|
|
Get just a little bit higher,
|
Get a little tongue tied,
|
Gonna try to find whatever ever made time,
|
That kind of immemorial,
|
That time before the fall,
|
That time before the [?] turned the corner,
|
Drive east of Eden,
|
'Till we start to feel the west,
|
You were never far from nowhere,
|
You could see it from the edge of town,
|
Honey, baby, wonder how it feel now,
|
Somehow I can't believe that it could feel like the four, but,
|
|
The air's getting colder now,
|
The nights are getting crisp,
|
I first tasted the universe on a night like this,
|
And I'll abide a box of wine,
|
And the hunger in her eyes,
|
In a place where the tree of good and evil still resides,
|
|
Homecoming,
|
Homecoming, homecoming, (Homecoming)
|
Homecoming,
|
Homecoming, homecoming, (Homecoming)
|
Homecoming,
|
Homecoming, homecoming, (Don't go away now)
|
Homecoming, (Don't go away now)
|
Homecoming, homecoming...
|
