I've come to my senses How did I get so far from home The lies dissipating Revealing I'm so alone And I remember now how strong love can be And I wonder how did I ever leave Burn your fire on the altar Leave a candle on the porch I'm still too far away to see it But I'm aching for its warmth And I'm so tired and cold and dark and lonesome But still I hear your song inside So sing it louder if you want me home tonight Sing it loud now 'cause I'm comin' home tonight This isn't the first time I've wandered away from home before So you'd have every reason To slam and dead-bolt the door And I remember now, how strong your love can be And I wonder how you might welcome me Burn your fire on the altar Leave a candle on the porch I'm still too far away to see it But I'm aching for its warmth And I'm so tired and cold and dark and lonesome But still I hear your song inside So sing it louder if you want me home tonight Sing it loud now 'cause I'm comin' home tonight Into your arms, to my backyard Where I used to play How I miss the days So burn your fire on the altar Leave a candle on the porch I'm still too far away to see it But I'm aching for its warmth I'm so tired and cold and dark and lonesome But still I hear your song inside So sing it louder if you want me home tonight Sing it loud now 'cause I'm comin' home tonight
