Lyrics
Coming for to take me home
w/m: Bent Myggen, BMI
copyright 6/1/2002
Half a life
& all my years
I?ve be rearin? to go
Now the time
is almost here
Coming for to take me home
If half my friends
could see me now
- what a memory-show
If all the world
could feel this heart
Coming for to take me home
And I can?t say
what this journey has been
It?s the light that I?m already in
and it?s been shining on me
steadily
Since you?ve been my one
The movie-doors
come open now
As the credits roll on
My angel?s here
with open arms
Coming for to take me home.
(Intermezzo)
What a life
and what a year
and all these dreams coming on
A peaceful heart
is all I hear
Coming for to take me home.
And I can?t say where this journey will go
It?s the mystery I?m burning to know
It?s been churning in me
steadily
Since you?ve been my one
and all.
