Lyrics
COME HOME TO ME
(For Elizabeth LePera, 1936 - 2018)
I always hope
I always dream
But there's nothing
In between
I always know
I always ache
But there's nothing,
No path to take
I know
You know --
You understand me
Cause you
Always knew
The truth about me
And I know
You can recall
The time
The time
I want you home
I want you here
At the top the stairs
Where you lived
Where you breathed
Where you meant
The world to me
The path aches
And I want you
To come home
The place where you lived
The place where you'd give and give
The place where you fell
From the world
I want you here
Here right now
I want you here
Here at last
Come home
Come home to me
Come home
Come home to me.
