A rollicking romp about loneliness and isolation featuring my debut on 5 string banjo.

lyrics

Baby Won't You Please Come Home

Well I’ve been looking over here and I’ve been looking over there Sometimes I feel so alone
Then a friend of mine told me it was every where
Baby won’t you please come home

I forgot to remember or I chose
to forget
Sometimes I feel so alone
If there are answers to find I haven’t found them yet
Baby won’t you please come home

Ah now baby won’t you please
come home
I’m feeling all alone
I’m gonna change my life the way you change your phone
Baby won’t you please come home

I been waiting in the chapel with the lame and blind
Sometimes I feel so alone
But you can’t catch happiness by creeping up behind
Baby won’t you please come home

And there’s a diamond sleeping rough on the street tonight
Sometimes I feel so alone
Cooled by the shower of a mean street light
Baby won’t you please come home

And the people who pretend that history won’t last
Sometimes I feel so alone
They’re condemned to repeat all the sins of the past
Baby won’t you please come home

Because everyone is young, and everyone is free
Sometimes I feel so alone
And treaty’s not replaced by an apology
Baby won’t you please come home

And how come there are people who just shop till they’re sore
Sometimes I feel so alone
Trying to buy their love in a department store
Baby won’t you please come home

‘Cause you can water your garden through the long hot drought Sometimes I feel so alone
But you can’t keep warm when the fire’s gone out
Baby won’t you please come home
