I've been gone for so long and how I've missed you
My heart was aching for home
And then one night as i lay down, somewhere far from you
I dreamt that i heard you call my name, but my mind was playing games.
I knew right then that i'd returned, to where i was before
And I was so tired of being away that i just couldnt stay anymore.
What did i ever come here for
What did i ever come here for
I thought if i showed up in the night, in my best disguise
There is a doorway and your porchlight, that you would look into my eyes
And you would realize who i am, put your arms around me
You're going to love me so much more, than you ever did before
What did i ever come here for
What did i ever come here for
It wasn't too long before i showed up at your door
I'd been gone a thousand miles
I didn't know how much more i could stand, if i could stand at all
You said i looked like i'd been through world war two
And my soul was worn right through
I thought you would read my mind, i thought you'd ask me to stay
You'd never turned me away like before
But you closed the door anyway
What did i ever come here for
What did i ever come here for
What did i ever come here for
What did i ever come here for
