Darling Be Home Soon

(album: Inside Out - 1967)

Come
And talk of all the things we did today
Here
And laugh about our funny little ways

While we have a few minutes to breathe
Then I know that it's time you must leave

But, darling, be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait
An extra minute
If you dawdled

Darling, be home soon
It's not just these few hours
But I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief
Of having you to talk to

And now
A quarter of my life is almost past
I think I've come to see myself at last

And I see that the time spent confused
Was the time that I spent without you
And I feel myself in bloom

So, darling, be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait
An extra minute
If you dawdled

Darling, be home soon
It's not just these few hours
But I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief
Of having you to talk to

Go
And beat your crazy head against the sky
Try
And see beyond the houses and your eyes
It's okay to shoot the moon

Darling, be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait
An extra minute
If you dawdled

Darling, be home soon
It's not just these few hours
But I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief
Of having you to talk to
