Big Country - Come Back to Me Lyrics

The day they [Incomprehensible] a party right out in the street
Flags and flowers and singing for the home come hero's treat
I sat in the kitchen without a fire on the range
I knew this house had lost the cause to ever make me warm again

Come back to me, days are all too long
Come back to me, you never should have gone
I was so young and full of pride and you were wild and strong
I never knew how weak I was

I watched them gather round him while he stepped down from the car
While tears fell on my cigarette, he handed out cigars
I have your child inside me but you will never know
I never will forget you while I watch that child grow

Come back to me, days are all too long
Come back to me, you never should have gone
I was so young and full of pride and you were wild and strong
I never knew how weak I was

I will always be here, fading by the day
I will wash the bloody hands and cast the bowl away
As the years hang on me, you will always be young
And one day I will lie down where the rose was flung

Come back to me, days are all too long
Come back to me, you never should have gone
I was so young and full of pride and you were wild and strong
I never knew how weak I was, come back to me
