Comin' Home
Reunion Melody: Neil Diamond's Journey Back Home
Lyrics
Operator, please
Expressing urgency, requesting the operator's assistance
Just get her on the phone
Requesting to connect with someone on the phone
She's got to know
Emphasizing the importance of the message
I'm comin' home
Announcing the intention to return home
For I've been gone
Acknowledging a prolonged absence
For a long, long time
Highlighting the extended duration of the absence
But it really doesn't matter
Minimizing the impact of time away when anticipating a reunion
When she's there on the line
Comfort in the presence of the person on the phone
Been on the road for a hundred days
Indicating a lengthy period of travel
And there's nothin' gonna stop me
Confident determination to overcome obstacles
'Cause I'm there on my way
Expressing the commitment to the journey
And I'm comin' home, comin' home
Reaffirming the return home
I don't sleep good when I sleep alone
Difficulty sleeping alone, underscoring the desire for companionship
Goin' back, I'm knowin' that
Anticipating the return and the inability to connect intimately over the phone
You can't make love on the telephone
Highlighting the limitations of expressing love through technology
And I'm comin' home
Reiterating the imminent return home
Lost in time, almost lost my mind
Reflecting on the challenges faced during the absence
But it really didn't matter
Emphasizing that challenges didn't matter in the context of the return
'Cause I knew all the time
Awareness of the eventual return despite temporary difficulties
I was headed back to my very own bed
Heading back to a familiar and comforting place
And there was never a look behind
Not dwelling on the past, looking forward to returning home
And I only looked ahead
Staying focused on the journey ahead
'Cause I'm comin' home,
Reaffirming the imminent return home
I'm comin' home
Restating the intention to come back home
I don't sleep good when I sleep alone
Reiterating difficulty sleeping alone
Goin' back, I'm knowin' that
Acknowledging the limitations of expressing love over the phone
You can't make love on the telephone
Emphasizing the impending return home
And I'm comin' home
Reiterating the anticipation of coming home
I'll make it through all right
Expressing confidence in overcoming challenges
Just knowin' that you're there
Feeling reassured knowing the person is there
Baby, I concede, you're all I need
Acknowledging the importance of the person in the speaker's life
It's more than I can bare
Conveying a sense of emotional vulnerability and dependence
I'm comin' home, comin' home
Reaffirming the imminent return home
I don't sleep good when I sleep alone
Reiterating difficulty sleeping alone
I'm headin' back, I'm knowin' that
Reemphasizing the anticipation of returning
You can't make love on the telephone
Acknowledging the limitations of expressing love over the phone
And I'm comin' home,
Restating the intention to come back home
Comin' home
Reaffirming the imminent return home
I don't sleep good when I sleep alone
Reiterating difficulty sleeping alone
I'm headin' back, I'm knowin' that
Reemphasizing the anticipation of returning
You can't make love on the telephone
Acknowledging the limitations of expressing love over the phone
And I'm comin' home
Final affirmation of the impending return home
