(Inspired by traditional folk song ‘Tell Her To Come Back Home‘ first recorded in 1927 by Uncle Dave Macon and His Fruit-Jar Drinkers)
[Verse 1]
When I turned my back on you
Eyes were awful greedy
Wanted everything they see’d
Mind was awful needy
If I got just a little bit more
Sure would make me happy
But dragged me round the universe
Poured petrol on my fire
[Chorus]
Oh my love, oh my love
Oh my love I’ve come back home
Oh my love, oh my love
Oh my love I’ve come back home
[Verse 2]
Why I ever went a way
Don’t know what was thinking
I had every thing I need
Obvious today
But then believed if I would stay
Unfulfilled I’d remain
Mind dragged me round the universe
Poured petrol on my fire
[Repeat Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Only now I understand
Everything is perfect
Even in my ignorance
Celebrate divine
Looking back appreciate
Forget to remember
Has dragged me round the universe
Poured petrol on my fire
[Repeat Chorus to fade]
