Coming Home

Background

Coming Home is a classic Tea Party song that remained “under the radar” for a long time and was never played live by the band. Only Jeff Martin included it in his set during his solo years, where it was one of the highlights.

lyrics

When frightened by change
Serenity clings to my sleep
And wonders remain
Their world will inherit its meek
So wicked’s the taste
You feel when the mysteries arise
I’ve fallen from grace
Because of her treacherous eyes

You don’t know
So alone
So alone
So alone

And that’s why honey, I’m coming home
I’m coming home
She’s so alone
I’m coming home

And beauty’s disdain
Attends to these virtuous lies
She tries to restrain
The ardent and amorous eyes
So wicked’s the taste
You feel when mysteries arise, yeah
I’ve fallen from grace
Because of her treacherous eyes

You don’t know
So alone
So alone
So alone

And that’s why honey, I’m coming home
I’m coming home
She’s so alone
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
She needs me now
She needs me now
She still alone, ah yeah
Ah yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
So alone

She’s so alone
So alone
She’s so alone
And that’s why honey, I’m coming home
I’m coming home
She’s so alone
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
She needs me now
She’s so alone
I’m coming home
Yeah I’m coming home
I’m coming home
She’s so alone
