Come Home
Yearning Echoes: Terry Blade's Heartfelt Plea to Come Home
Lyrics
I was hoping
I had the expectation or desire
My darling
Referring to a loved one
Would come home
To return home
He went off
He departed
And left me
Left me alone
All alone
Feeling abandoned
Withered decaying
Describing a state of decline
What I was saying
Expressing regret for what was said
Was wrong
Admitting a mistake
But if the bond is worth saving
Implying the relationship is valuable
Darling you better come home
Urging the loved one to return
Come home
Repetition, emphasizing the plea to return
Come home
Reiteration of the plea to come home
You come and go
Noting the loved one's inconsistent presence
As much as you please
Indicating freedom to come and go
You do what you want
Choosing actions independently
And ignore me with ease
Ignoring the speaker effortlessly
I best to get to going
Expressing a decision to leave
If you ain't showing
If no commitment is shown
Up for long
Not staying for an extended period
Withered decaying
Describing a deteriorating state
What I was saying
Acknowledging the earlier mistake
Was wrong
Recognizing the error in judgment
But if the bond is worth saving
Reaffirming the importance of the relationship
Darling you better come home
Reiterating the plea to return
Or I'll be gone
Warning of the speaker's departure
I'll be gone
Stating the imminent departure
