I Can't Go Home Again

(álbum: Reachin' All Around - 1982)

Lay me down, pretend I'm real
I'll give you all the love I'm paid to feel
I'm soft as snow, hard as stone
I never knew the man I've known
I can't go home again

Come with me, I'll light a flame
It doesn't matter if you know my name
I'm sweet as pie, tough as nails
I live a lie, and count the sails
I can't go home again

Home is where I left the people, yeah
People who believed in me
Everyone was warm to one I love
Love is true only, how I wish I still belonged there

Take me now, ooh, the time is right
And when you're seeing me out into the night
If someone asks, I'll say "yes"
What's one more, more or less?
I can't, I can't go home again

Home is where you feel like someone, yeah
Someone that somebody needs
And when things go wrong, you have each other
'Cause love is free there, how I wish I, I still could be there

Lay me down, make love to me
Pretend I'm all the things I'll never be
Fill your needs, quench your thirst
Hold me tight, but pay me first
I can't, I can't go home again

Soft as snow, hard as stone
Never knew the man I've known
I can't, I can't go home again
Fill your needs, and quench your thirst
Hold me tight, but pay me first
I can't, I can't go home again

(Soft as snow, hard as stone
Never knew the man I've known)
Oh, I know, I know I can't go home again
(If someone asks, I'll say "yes"
What's one more, more or less?)
Never knew the man I've known...
