Where are you coming from?
A dark pool in the sky
Thick clouds of albumen
A-twinkle in my eye
Where are you taken from?
Is someone else left sad?
And what if you never come?
Is it because I've been a bad girl, a bad girl, a bad girl?
Hurry home
Come on and tell me what more
I can be doing to send up my flare in the night
Oh, hurry home
Come on and find me
When you come, I'll crown your head with a thousand red kisses and fairylights
Why do you take so long?
Is it hard to leave your home?
Will you clamber in silently
Or make your presence known?
Now my front door is open wide
The window's on the latch
I'll keep watch for your parachute
And you fall to earth I'll catch you, I'll catch you, I'll catch you
Oh, hurry home
Come on and tell me what more
I can be doing to send up my flare in the night
Oh, hurry home
Come on and find me
When you come, I'll crown your head with a thousand red kisses and fairylights
Are you following whichever way the wind blows?
Are you dawdling at the corner, getting sidetracked by some pretty shop windows?
Everybody knows it
The ribbons and the bows make the ruffled robes look nice
But ribbons don't last long
And lightning won't strike twice
So just move yourself along
You've got lovelight in your pockets
And hazy dreams for shoes
It'll all come up roses
There's no way you're gonna lose
Where are you coming from?
A dark pool in the sky
I'll wait here 'cause I'm the one
Who'll make everything just right, just right, just right, just right
Oh, hurry home
Come on and tell me what more
I can be doing to send up my flare in the night
Oh, hurry home
Come on and find me
When you come, I'll crown your head with a thousand red kisses and fairylights
