Lyrics

Come Back
Lyrics and music by Winston Apple

You’re dreaming of him
He’s waiting for you
Your heart is protected by a coat of ice
You try to be good
But what good does that do you
When Good and Evil are sleeping side by side?
And you so torn between us
You said you wanted me, but you’re running to him
In your dreams I think you know
You may be heading down the wrong road
But it may be too late for you to turn back now

West of the mountains the sirens are screaming
Screaming for blood and looking for lambs
Driving a hard and a desperate bargain
The toast of the coast is making his stand
He’s got the fire in his eyes
He’s got his eye on you
His touch may be so cold, oh but you’ve grown so easy to hold
And it may be too late for you to come back now

There’s an old black lady, she’s rocking so gently (Can you hear her singing?)
Singing gospel music so sweet and low (Swing low sweet chariot)
Oh how I wish you could hear these songs that she’s singing
But it may be too late for you to hear her now

Now that everybody’s been coming down
With a bad case of dreams of glory
We’re choosing up sides for the next crusade
This is not the end, no no, this is not the beginning
It’s just a pause for the cause in the great debate
And you still torn between us
You said you wanted me, but now you’re with him
Your dreams may be shattered
You may be convinced that it don’t really matter
You may believe that it’s too late for you to come back now
Oh but Darling, it’s never too late
No, no Darling, it’s never too late
Why don’t you come back?
Why don’t you come back?
Why, why don’t you come back now?

Why don’t you come back?
Why don’t you come to me now?
