In the arms of a lover

Is an army of stone

With the touch of a mother

God sends radical sun

Please just be home before dark

I've given you all that I've got

There's a flame in the kitchen

A reflection of you

I keep it burning through the evening

Watch the wax drip all over my shoes

Please just be home before dark

I've given you all that I've got

Please come home

On a long desert highway

I can feel him slipping right through my hands

I don't know if heaven hears me

But I'm screaming as loud as I can

Screaming as loud as I can

I'm screaming

Please just be home before dark

I've given you all that I've got

Please just be home before dark
