Homecoming

Josh Ritter

6

I feel a change in the weather

I feel a change in me

The days are getting shorterAnd the birds begin to leave

Even me, yes, yes, you all

Who has been so long alone

I′m headed home

Headed home

The nights are getting colder now

And the air is getting crisp

Our first taste of the universe

On a night like this

A box of wine, an alibi

And the hunger in her eyes

In the place where the tree of good and evil

Still resides

Still resides

Homecoming

Homecoming, homecoming

She said, show me what you got, babe

I'm not like other girls

Just give me your bad self and a place for us to make a stand

And I can move the world

Lift a valley from a floor, honey

A little tongue to the sky

They′ll say that it's a miracle

And you'll know damn well they′re right

Damn well they′re right

Homecoming (don't go away now)

Homecoming, homecoming (don′t go away now)

Homecoming (don't go away now)

Homecoming, homecoming (don′t go away now)

(Hey now)

When the oracle spoke to me

She was like a roadside song (don't go away now)

Do unto others as you would have them do

Even if in turn they do you wrong (hey now)

This town right here′s my everything

And though I be torn away (don't go away now)

It had my heart, it has my heart

Be still, my heart, my heart will stay (hey now)

My heart will stay, my heart will stay, my heart will stay

(Don't go away now)

Get just a little bit higher

Get a little tongue-tied

Gonna try to find whatever ever made time

That kind of immemorial

That time before the fall, yeah

That time before the autumn

Really turned the corner

Drive east of Eden

′Til we′d start to feel the west

We were never far from nowhere

You could see it from the edge of town

Honey, baby, wonder how it'd feel now

Somehow I can′t believe

That it could feel like before, but

The air is getting colder now

The nights are getting crisp

I first tasted the universe

On a night like this

An alibi, a box of wine

And the hunger in your eyes

In the place where the tree of good and evil

Still resides

Homecoming

Homecoming, homecoming (homecoming)

Homecoming

Homecoming, homecoming (homecoming)

Homecoming

Homecoming, homecoming

Homecoming (don't go away now, don′t go away now)

Homecoming, homecoming

Homecoming, homecoming (don't go away now, don′t go away now)

Homecoming, homecoming
