Vienna Teng - Homecoming (Walter`s Song) слова песни
words and music by Vienna Tengit`s desert ice outside but this diner has thawed my earshot coffee in a clean white mug and a smile when the waitress hearsthat I was born in North Carolinanot an hour from her home townand we used to play the same pizza parlor pinballand there`s a glance in time suspended as I wonder how it iswe`ve been swept up just by circumstance to where the coyote liveswhere my days are strips of highwayand she`s wiping tables downholding on and still waiting for that windfallbut I`ve come homeeven though I`ve never had so far to goI`ve come homeI pay the check and leave the change from a crumpled ten-dollar billhead across the street where VACANCY is burning in neon stillwell the night eats up my body heatand there`s no sign of anotherand I find myself slipping down into that blackbut things are good I`ve got a lot of followers of my faithI`ve got a whole congregation living in my head these daysand I`m preaching from the pulpitto cries of “Amen brother”closing my eyes to feel the warmth come backand I`ve come homeeven though I swear I`ve never been so aloneI`ve come homeI just want to be living as I`m dyingjust like everybody herejust want to know my little flicker of time is worthwhileand I don`t know where I`m driving tobut I know I`m getting oldand there`s a blessing in every moment every milethin white terry bars of soap and a couple little plastic cupsold Gideons Bible in the nightstand drawer saying “Go on open up”well I`ll kneel down on the carpet herethough I never was sure of Godthink tonight I`ll give Him the benefit of the doubtI switch off the lights and imagine that waitress outlined in the bedher hair falling all around meI smile and shake my headwell we all write our own endingsand we all have our own scarsbut tonight I think I see what it`s all aboutbecause I`ve come homeI`ve come home
