He Calls Home

(album: Candlebox - 1993)

Well I see him everyday, in that blanket that he calls home
Wonder does he know, that his family they're left alone
He says brother can you spare, can you spare a dime
I'm down to my last dollar, and this life of mine

Said this life of mine
It gets rough at times

Now I wonder does he know, does he even care
That his family they're safe at home, and they wonder where
As he wanders through this life, he's ever searching for
A warm blanket on warm fields and he wanders on

And he wonders
Is he safe from the cold

Safe out from the cold (Mmm-mmm)

Well I see he left the other day, took his blanket that he called home
Did he go for good, or did he pass away, well I wonder does he know
See I'm down to my last dollar, and this life of mine
Said this life of mine, it gets rough at times

Now I wonder does he know, does he even care
That my family they're safe at home, and I wonder where
As I wander through my life, I'm ever searching for
My warm blanket on warm fields, and I wander on

And I wonder
Will I always be helped along

I said I-yeah, I'll never know, oh-oh
Because I-yeah, I'll never go, no-no
And yes I-yeah, I said I wonder why, yeah-yeah-yeah
Because oh-yeah, oh-no, I'll never go home

I'll never come home
Never come home
Oh won't you let me come home
'Cause I want to come home

But I-yeah, I'll never know, no-no
And yes I-yeah, I'll never go, no-no-oh
And yes I-yeah, I said I wonder why, yeah-yeah-yeah
Because oh-yeah, oh-no, I'll never come home

I'll never come home
Never come home

I want to come home
Won't you let me come home
'Cause I want to come home
Let me come home
