Comeback Kids
Homebound Serenade: The Comeback Kids' Journey
Lyrics
I drove out to hubert humphrey at five in the morning
I drove to Hubert Humphrey at five in the morning.
With a carry-on bag and a southwest ticket in my hand
Carrying a carry-on bag and a Southwest ticket in my hand.
In my hand
(Repetition of Line 2)
You were waiting at the gate
You were waiting at the gate.
In the same dress you wore the night I met you
You wore the same dress as the night I met you.
We raced past the desk clerk
We hurried past the desk clerk, who smiled.
She looked up from her bookwork and she smiled
(Repetition of Line 7)
Rdu and here we are
We are at RDU (Raleigh-Durham International Airport).
Rdu and here we are
(Repetition of Line 10)
Cold and blow like a baseball diamond
It's cold, resembling a baseball diamond, anticipating summer.
Waiting for the summer
We're waiting for the summer.
Staying inside, your toes'll stay dry
Staying inside to keep your toes dry, avoiding the sand.
But never touch the sand
(Repetition of Line 15)
Go it alone, feet moving forward
Going alone, moving forward, seeking answers.
Trying to find the answer
(Repetition of Line 17)
Then you appear, like fate put you here
You appear as if fate brought you here.
And then i'm finally home
Finally feeling at home.
I fumbled for the door
I struggled with the door.
And on the sunlit desk I bent and kissed you
On the sunlit desk, I bent and kissed you.
Your neck swept up like a graceful sail caught in the wind
Your neck rose gracefully, like a sail in the wind.
We're the comeback kids
We are the "comeback kids," not forgetting our past.
Never forgetting what we did or where we came from
(Repetition of Line 26)
I held you so close
I held you closely while slow dancing to "Fox in the Snow."
As we slow danced to fox in the snow
(Repetition of Line 28)
Rdu and here we are
We are at RDU again.
Rdu and here we are
(Repetition of Line 31)
Cold and blown like a baseball
It's cold, resembling a baseball diamond, anticipating summer.
Diamond waiting for the summer
We're waiting for the summer.
Staying inside, your boots'll stay dry
Staying inside to keep your boots dry, avoiding the sand.
But never touch the sand
(Repetition of Line 36)
Go it alone, feet moving forward
Going alone, moving forward, seeking answers.
Trying to find the answer
(Repetition of Line 38)
Then you appear, like fate put you here
You appear as if fate brought you here.
And then i'm finally home
Finally feeling at home.
