Home Tonight

I've come to my senses
How did I get so far from home
The lies dissipating
Revealing I'm so alone

And I remember now how strong love can be
And I wonder how did I ever leave

Burn your fire on the altar
Leave a candle on the porch
I'm still too far away to see it
But I'm aching for its warmth

And I'm so tired and cold and dark and lonesome
But still I hear your song inside
So sing it louder if you want me home tonight
Sing it loud now 'cause I'm comin' home tonight

This isn't the first time
I've wandered away from home before
So you'd have every reason
To slam and dead-bolt the door

And I remember now, how strong your love can be
And I wonder how you might welcome me

Burn your fire on the altar
Leave a candle on the porch
I'm still too far away to see it
But I'm aching for its warmth

And I'm so tired and cold and dark and lonesome
But still I hear your song inside
So sing it louder if you want me home tonight
Sing it loud now 'cause I'm comin' home tonight

Into your arms, to my backyard
Where I used to play
How I miss the days

So burn your fire on the altar
Leave a candle on the porch
I'm still too far away to see it
But I'm aching for its warmth

I'm so tired and cold and dark and lonesome
But still I hear your song inside
So sing it louder if you want me home tonight
Sing it loud now 'cause I'm comin' home tonight
