You were waiting by the river
Your coat was soaking wet
And as your arms began to shiver, your mind began to fret
Closer came the winter, that would take your breath away
Closer came the bitter cold, that would keep your mind awake
And as time began to wander, you stood there for a while
And as your heart grew fonder, he took away your smile
Kicking stones between your shoes, you whistled not a note
Time spend dissecting every song he'd ever wrote
Now your head is saturated, and your heart has been evaded
And now you joined the line of those who didn't make their move in time, in time
Won't you come home and sleep?
Your mother is getting worried and it's just
A trip across the sea, in a ship that worthy floating
You under me, back to where we can sleep
Your daddy was a sinner, because your mother she dreamt of gold
And no one was a winner, when it broke apart your home
Your eyes they learnt to see things a child's mind should never bear
And you couldn't stop listening to what you shouldn't hear
Won't you come home and sleep?
Your mother is getting worried and it's just a
A trip across the sea, in a ship that worthy floating
You under me, back to where we can sleep
