COME ON HOME lyrics

Artist  : INDIGO GIRLS 
Song : COME ON HOME
 


Dark clouds are comin' like an army

Soon the sky will open up and disarm me

You will go just like you've gone before

One sad soldier off to war, enemies that only you
can see.



Dishes stacked, the table cleared

It's always like the scene of the last supper
here

You speak so cryptically that's not news to
me

The flood is here it will carry you

And I've got work to do.



Come on home, the team you're hitched to has a
mind of its own

But it's just the forces of your past you've
fought before

Come back here and shut the door

I'm stacking sandbags against the river of your
troubles. 



There is fire there is lust

Some will trade it all for someone they could
trust

There's a bag of silver for a box of nails

It's so simple the betrayal

Though it's known to change the world and what's
to come.



Just come on home, the team you're hitched to has
a mind of its own

But it's just the forces of your past you've
fought before

Don't you recognize them anymore

I'm stacking sandbags against the river of your
troubles. 



There's the given and the expected

I count my blessings while I eye what I've
neglected

Is this for better is this for worse

You're all jammed up and the dam's about to
burst.



I hear the owl in the night

I realize that some things never are made
right

By some will we string together here

Days to months and months to years

What if everything we have adds up to
nothing.



Come on home, the team you're hitched to has a
mind of its own

But it's just the forces of your past you've
fought before

Come back here and shut the door

I'm stacking sandbags against the river of your
troubles.
