Every time I go away It hurts me just the same I chose this life and I knew the game But I never weighed the pain I'll be a man and admit it's getting harder each day I have to tell you goodbye girl, but then there's Coming home, and thinking 'bout tomorrow When I'll be holding you I'm coming home, a smile breaks the sorrow And dark skies are turning blue, when I'm coming home Forty days and forty nights Defines eternity It's never easy, it's never right When you're not here with me I want to tell you, sweet girl: I count the minutes, the hours And the days I'm not with you, but then there's Coming home, and thinking 'bout tomorrow When I'll be holding you I'm coming home, a smile breaks the sorrow And dark skies are turning blue, when I'm coming home I couldn't make it without you, baby I wouldn't stand a chance You're my rock star and I'm just a fan Coming home, and thinking 'bout tomorrow When I'll be holding you I'm coming home, a smile breaks the sorrow And dark skies are turning blue, when I'm coming home
