Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He is reaching up for climbing
Ropes hanging down below
I see the children smiling
No need to let it show
[Verse 2]
I know I won't be coming home no more
[Verse 3]
The street and sidewalk borders
Stretch out beyond the scenes
The sweet and dark emotions
Everyday hopes and dreams
[Verse 4]
My God, I know who's waiting
Beneath the bedroom floor
Her eyes anticipating
Our each and every move
[Verse 5]
I know I won't be coming home no more
[Verse 6]
All I ever wanted
Was to turn from my side
All I ever wanted
Was to turn from my side
[Verse 7]
The rake is scratching harder
The half-drawn window shade
Like any empty memory
The colors seem to fade
[Verse 8]
My God, I know who's waiting
Beneath the bedroom floor
Remember summer showers
Outside the cabin walls
[Verse 9]
I know I won't be coming home no more
