(Ray Pennington)

I came homekind of unexpected
Wanted to surpise my baby so I didn't phone
I heard laughter and soft music
As I walked up the pathway to our front door.

I saw curtains on the windows, shadows on the curtains
Have I been away too long?

At first I couldn't believe my eyes
I told myself why it's just an old friend
I'll bet they're waiting to surprise me
But wait no one knew that I was coming in.

Now there's curtains on the windows, shadows on the curtains
Has my baby gone wrong?

I walked downtown to a pawnshop
Funny what you can buy there for just a dollar or two
Now I'm walking up our pathway
And heaven help me for what I may do.

To those curtains on the windows, shadows on the curtains
Have I been away too long?
(There were) curtains on the windows, shadows on the curtains
Has my baby gone wrong?...
