You Come Back

(Album: Edie Brickell - 2011)

Oh, very soon
There will come a day
When the night
Brings you to me

I remember
Standing there waiting by your door
Staring at the floor
At the light coming through

I was dying to see you
Dying to be with you
Oh, very soon

Three, four people
Always seem to be hanging 'round
You can hear the sound
Coming down in the room

I have seen you
Don't you know I've seen you before?
Standing at the shore
With the sea in your eye

Hey, you come back
With a purple flag in your hand
And you come back
With a look I can't understand

Seasons changing
Turning like the breeze into storm
It can be so cruel
When the wind blows it home

I can feel it
I can feel as I'm coming home
Like I'd never sung
It's the song for no one

Hey, you come back
With a purple flag in your hand
And you come back
With a look I can't understand

I was dying to see you
Dying to be with you
Oh, very soon

Hey, you come back
With a purple flag in your hand
And you come back
With a look I can't understand

When you come back
Over and over again
Hey, you come back
With a look I can't understand
