about

A country leaning / americana song which I rewrote three times , over a period of 10 years, constantly changing the melody and certain lyrics . I think that this will finallly be the final version.

lyrics

Heartaches and laughter and magical moments.
Colors that fade with time.
Memories are fragile and they’re hard to hold on to.
Like clouds drifting ‘round in your mind.
And it’s hard to think back when you stand there before me,
With both love and anger in your eyes.
Something inside me says I still need you,
But I think I’m just a little bit too high.

But if we could stand it for just a few hours,
Knowing that we’ll never get it right.
We can’t go back and we’ll move on tomorrow.
But would you come home and love me tonight?
Would you come home and love me tonight?

This could be a joke, but nobody’s laughing.
We’re a couple of teary eyed clowns.
We each thought we had somewhere else to be going to,
But found ourselves hanging around.
Waiting for someone to make that first motion,
To forgive and forget the past.
But maybe there’s something that we’ve both forgotten.
That something that just couldn’t last.

But if we could stand it for just a few hours,
Knowing that we’ll never get it right.
We can’t go back and we’ll move on tomorrow.
But would you come home and love me tonight?
Would you come home and love me tonight?

Instrumental Break

Now I don't pretend to have all the answers,
Standing on pretty shaky ground.
But there must be a reason that I'm still out searching,
For the one thing that I hoped I had found.
The more time goes by, the fonder the memories,
Replacing the lows with the highs.
But isn’t it strange how the heart well remembers,
The things that the mind denies.

But if we could stand it for just a few hours,
Knowing that we’ll never get it right.
We can’t go back and we’ll move on tomorrow.
But would you come home and love me tonight?
Would you come home and love me tonight?
Would you come home and love me tonight?
