lyrics

You say you’ve been down the shore
And it’s why we don’t see you no more
You fell in your own well
You were just such a quick sell

The tide goes in and out
You say you scream and shout
We all go our own ways
And we all are our own craze

You caught the train of thought
And you’re gonna ride it, ready or not

You found yourself some shade
And they say you’re all the rage
But you sit on a scorched porch
And you’re holding a snuffed torch

We ought to know you say
You’re gonna make it big someday
You sing like a windchime
Cut in half by the fine line

You swam out to the ship of fools
And they used you up like a set of tools

CHORUS:
Can you or can you not come home baby?
Daddy says yes and mom’s a definite maybe
Can you or can you not come home baby?
Or are you always not here now?

You sure have been gone a while
It must be the brand new style
You ran out of stamps, you say
And there’s not enough time in the day

Keep that bag by your side
I know there’s no place to hide
But we can’t want you back now
And we can’t watch you pack now

You flew on the plane of being
And it’s so much harder to be staying than leaving

CHORUS
…And can you or can you not come home baby?
Or are you always not here now?
