Will you come home? Another night in the ward Sitting steady by the telephone Losing feeling in these hands I said stop the world I can't take the spinning anymore But son once your life has gone It just goes on and on It goes on and on That's how I like it dear Into the unknown Another light from the world Whole world is the color of stone And the wound cuts to the bone I said give me another try This song; it doesn't rhyme But son once your verse is done It just goes on and on It goes on and on That's how I like it dear As you're running around Writing in your part Before you're taken down Just know my son Once the day is done All your suffering, it means nothing It means nothing to me
