I've come to my senses/
How did I get so far from home?/
The lies dissapating/
Revieling i'm so alone/
And I remember now/
How strong love can be/
And I wonder how/
Did I ever leave?/

(Chorus)
Burn your fire on the alter/
Leave a candle on the porch/
I'm still too far away to see it/
But i'm aching for it's warmth/
N' i'm so tired n' cold n' dark n' lonesome/
But still I hear your song inside/
So sing it louder/
If you want me home tonight/
Sing it loud now/
'Cause i'm comin' home tonight//

This isn't the first time/
I've wandered away from home before/
So you'd have every reason/
To slam and dead-bolt the door/
And I remember now/
How strong your love can be/
And I wonder how/
You might welcome me//

(Chorus)
Burn your fire on the alter/
Leave a candle on the porch/
I'm still too far away to see it/
But i'm aching for it's warmth/
N' i'm so tired n' cold n' dark n' lonesome/
But still I hear your song inside/
So sing it louder/
If you want me home tonight/
Sing it loud now/
'Cause i'm comin' home tonight/
Into your arms/
To my backyard/
Where I used to play/
How I miss the days//

(Chorus)
Burn your fire on the alter/
Leave a candle on the porch/
I'm still too far away to see it/
But i'm aching for it's warmth/
N' i'm so tired n' cold n' dark n' lonesome/
But still I hear your song inside/
So sing it louder/
If you want me home tonight/
Sing it loud now/
'Cause i'm comin' home tonight//
