When I went home

I thought that certainly

Someone would leave the door or window open wide for me

And surely there would a welcome light

When I went home

I counted so upon

Somebody waiting up to ask me questions on and on

To ask me where I'd come

Was I alright?

But the door was bared and the window bared

And I knew with an awful dread

That somebody else, some other boy was sleeping in my bed

When I went home

I found that sad to say

You must expect to be forgotten once you've gone away

And so I couldn't stay that lonely night when I went home...
