lyrics

i've got blisters on my fingers from playing this thing
oh darling won't you come home
and i'm sitting by the telephone wishing it would ring
oh darling won't you come home
oh darling, won't you come home..?

and my throat is hoarse from singing this song
oh darling won't you come home
and i'm drunk on the hope that it won't be long
oh darling till you come home
oh darling, won't you come home..?

i never saw your eyes until your eyes were closed in sleep
or knew your skin until your skin brushed mine
i saw you washing in the pale daylight
and your body in the water became particles of light...

he rounds the corner, what wouldn't i give
oh darling won't you come home
for this love not to die, for this love to live
oh darling won't you come home
but it's four in the morning and there's something wrong
oh darling won't you come home
and my lips are blistered from singing love's song
oh darling won't you come home..?

never really saw you at all until i saw you vanishing down my hall
sometimes i wish you were a ghost from my past
because love like this never can last

one night you'll come to me, speaking your heart's truth
oh darling won't you come home
and i swear i won't be too scared to say to you
darling won't you come home

darling won't you come home
darling won't you come home

it's all water under bridges now, it's all in the past
and no matter how you wish it
you can't turn the river back

won't you come home, won't you come home, won't you come home?
won't you come on home?

about

Kirsty McGee Manchester

A wandering maverick and spellbinding live performer with a voice that has been described as having the texture of smoke & velvet, McGee defies categorisation, to make 'hobopop' –“music of no fixed genre”. Her continuously evolving musical personality is proof that a freedom from artistic restraints can sometimes produce a unique, enthralling and original voice with a rare honesty. ... more
