Come Back Home
Alan Smith Robertson
Hey there my dear! Welcome back home
Where have you been? Did you have fun?
Why did you go away for so long?
Who have you seen? What have you done?
And why did you come back home?
My life was empty when you left
You took your song away from me
I wish you didn’t have to leave the nest
But birds like you cannot be caged
How much have you learnt? How many jobs have you worked?
Did you conquer the world? How many heads have you turned?
And whose hearts did you break along the way?
How long are you staying? When are you leaving again?
And why did you come back home?
My life was empty when you left
You took your song away from me
I wish you didn’t have to leave the nest
But birds like you cannot be caged
And again you have gone, and again my heart broke
Which way did you go? How could you leave me alone?
This time how long are you gonna be away?
When are you coming back home?
Oh! Why did you come back home?
I was so happy till you left
You took your song away again
I wish you didn’t have to leave the nest
But birds like you cannot be caged
My life is empty now you’ve left
You took your song away again
I wish you didn’t have to leave the nest
But birds like you cannot be caged
