I'm Coming Home

(album: Andrew Gold - 1975)

I've been away so long, I'm lonely
Ain't it clear that I need you to call me
There's no amount of letters I could write
To take the place of being with you tonight
'Cause all I see and everything I do
Makes it clear I gotta be with you

I'm coming home
It's just not right spending life alone
I'm coming home
I'm coming back to you

All the songs I write just bore me
'Cause everyone sings the same sad story
It's all for you, yes, it's all for you
And I'll do anything that I can do
To find a way to see your city lights
You'll find a way to be at home tonight

I'm coming home
It's just not right spending life alone
I'm coming home
I'm coming back to you

And by tonight, love, will I find you
Waiting behind the door for me?
And in the morning will you be wanting
To open up your heart for me? Oh, yeah

It took some time to admit I needed you
But now I know that you already knew
So leave a light on and unlock the gate
I'm coming in tonight, so darling wait

I'm coming home
It's just not right spending life alone
I'm coming home
I'm coming back to you

I'm coming home
It's just not right spending life alone
I'm coming home
I'm coming back to you

I'm coming home
It's just not right spending life alone
I'm coming home
I'm coming back to you
