Send Me Home

(album: Big Dark Love - 2015)

Rooms full of spirits surround me
They're as real as they can be
Every morning I plant my shaky feet
On an earth so hard and mean

Body's broken, systems fail
You care for me to no avail
No reward, no, its not fair
And I'd be on my way if I wasn't so damn scared

Ohhhhh, will you send me home?
Will you send me home?
I can't go but I can't go on
I want to stay but I ain't got long
Will you send me home?
Time to move on

Every morning I'm in pain
I weep to greet the day
Get me out of this wretched shell
Crack me open, wish me well

Put me in a simple box in a patch of dirt
Send me on to greener pastures, won't be the worst
Whatever comes is mine and mine alone
And if I have to ask you, will you send me home?

Ohhhhh, will you send me home?
Will you send me home?
I can't go but I can't go on
I want to stay but I ain't got long

Will you send me home?
