Lyrics

Since you went away we’ve all been lonely
Wondering if you’ll visit from time to time
I must admit this house just don’t seem homey
And when I think about you sometimes I cry

Now me and ma been stones for one another
We just to hold our own, now we hold each other
We knew you had to leave, and we don’t judge you
But please visit soon so we can hug you

I’ll open the door and you’ll come running back inside
Pull up a chair, sit on the floor, come in
And then I’ll hold you tight- Dad welcome home
The porch lights off but the coffees on, yeah
And I’ll tell you just take your time
That’s the dream I had last night.

Well the years go by, I’ve found somebody
I swear you’d love her just like your own
And god, I wish that you could meet her
But I know you see everything- I know I’m not alone

She’ll open the door and you’ll meet her for the first time ever
Probably look at the floor, you’ll hug her,
and think of something clever to say, to me
Like how in the hell did you get so lucky-
And I’ll tell you it just felt right-
That’s the dream I had last night.

If you could only see me now-
a brand new job, and a brand new house
You’ve taught me how to be a fighter

You’ll open the door and then I’ll walk right in
Suppers on the table… You and ma been cooking-

I’ll open the door and you’ll come running back inside
Pull up a chair, sit on the floor, come in
And then I’ll hold you tight- Dad welcome home
The porch lights off but the coffees on, yeah
And I’ll tell you just take your time
That’s the dream I’ll have tonight
