Well the days wear on and the road seems so long But I’m coming home to you And this work ain’t no love song Sometimes it puts me in a fog But I’m coming home to you My boots are dusty and this voice is getting rusty But I’m coming home to you My guitar lays beside yours I’ll leave my problems at the door When I’m coming home to you Well I hummed your name in a song today Said I’m coming home to you Well I thought I heard you calling but I didn’t know what to say Said I’m coming home to you So I’ll roll another cigarette These damn things ain’t killed me yet So here I come home to you And I sure hope that you’d come soon It’s getting lonely in this room Here I come home to you My weathered hands feel so smooth when we play this tune My tired voice feels so new when I sing with you The past is there but all we have is right here So I’ll take your weathered hands and we’ll play this tune My weathered hands feel so smooth when we play this tune My tired voice feels so new when I sing with you The past is there but all we have is right here So Will you take my weathered hands and we’ll play this tune

Christmas lights, orange and cool I over analyze everything I do And the snow is red and green City lights, red and blue I wonder why I dream of you Hannukah, no dreidel to be found But you made a menorah out of clay Let’s throw it in the kiln And we’ll fire it into something new December rain, how unusual for this place I’ll take the blame Let my bones swell with shame Let’s throw it on the wheel And we’ll turn it into something useful Christmas lights, red, white and blue I try and respect you, can you respect us too? Let’s throw it in the kiln And we’ll fire it into something functional

I left our photo in the bathroom stall You must think that I don’t care at all But that’s not it, I’m just careless I can’t treat you like you deserve And I’m bound to get right on your nerves So tell me, should I just leave? I’m gonna buy me a violin Use the bow to draw you right in Waltzing around, all over town I wanna serenade you to sleep You’re so far away sometimes I don’t eat What’s the point in counting sheep? If, I won’t give up on us I won’t give up on love I won’t give up this spot on my heart Temptations they are all around They’re like pennies that you find on the ground Tails down, heads up Look out now You may call me an abomination Then you’re calling me the new sensation It’s all a sin, just matters how you look at it But I won’t give up on us Cause I won’t give up on love I won’t give up this spot on my heart

Well I tried to write about the needles on the trees But the city wouldn't let me, yeah the city don't let me Then I tried to figure all that you mean to me But my worry wouldn't let me, yeah my worry don't let me Then I tried to sing about the birds and the bees But my body wouldn't let me, yeah my body don't let me Then I tried to write about how I felt about looking out at the sea But the words didn't find me, sometimes the words don't find me I'm trying to do better I'm trying to do better, by you... by all of you I'm trying to do better, I swear to God, I'm really trying to do better By you, by all of you... I tried to send out some letters But I lost all the postage, I guess I misplaced the postage Then I tried to telephone home today But I misplaced by phone again, I guess I lost my phone again Then I promised that I'd be productive today But I stayed up late again, doing nothing Then I swore that I'd finish this song today But the words up and left me, I guess the words just left me I'm trying to feel better I'm trying to feel better, for you... for all of you Things are gonna get better, yeah things just gotta get better For you... for all of you

We all got dreams that will take us a lifetime Sure can feel nice to float in the fleeting lines Of today and tomorrow when I’ll glance you again A quick wave, nice to see ya Then off, like a wren Off like a wren I said I’d call you one of these days But that old promise always gets misplaced So hey I will see you at the grocery store We’ll talk for a minute or two And then check out I want to know what you got in your cart Do you like your apples sweet, or tart? Do you like your peas frozen or canned Are there any foods that you just can’t stand? So friend I will see you at the grocery store We’ll talk for a minute or two
