When I was a kid

There was always this light on

When I’d come home after a night

Of your love

And I’d fall asleep slow

To the glow of these bright songs

There behind the lids of my eyes

Were very pretty faces

Very pretty faces

And I called your name

Down in my bedroom

Yeah, I called your name

But I called too soon

I can’t give you no love

In this big balloon

I can’t give you no love

Won’t you come home soon?

I hear you’re comin’ home soon

Now that we’re old enough

Old enough

Old enough

For a hundred more years

We’ll be fighting the same war

For every time he looks in your eyes

It’s a hundred more

‘Cause we’ve been working so hard

And we’ve wandered so far

And it’s closing time

And at the other end of the bar

The very pretty faces

And I called your name

Out across the room

Yeah, I called your name

But I called too soon

I can’t give you no love

In this big balloon

I can’t give you no love

Won’t you come home soon?

I hear you’re comin’ home soon

Now that we’re old enough

Old enough

Old enough
