lyrics
your pigeon came yesterday
with word of your return
my eyes began to water
my throat began to burn
come home, come home
your wife is waiting
come home, come home
you touched her tender cheek
that was not the touch of love
your hands stayed clean
your boots were slick with blood
come home, come home
your wife is waiting
come home, come home
you chose the wind
over your own flesh and bone
surrounded by a hundred thousand men
she died alone
and you will too
wait till you see what i have planned for you
it’s been so long
i feared the worst
you, another body in the field
you, safe from your curse
come home, come home
your wife is waiting
come home, come home
with word of your return
my eyes began to water
my throat began to burn
come home, come home
your wife is waiting
come home, come home
you touched her tender cheek
that was not the touch of love
your hands stayed clean
your boots were slick with blood
come home, come home
your wife is waiting
come home, come home
you chose the wind
over your own flesh and bone
surrounded by a hundred thousand men
she died alone
and you will too
wait till you see what i have planned for you
it’s been so long
i feared the worst
you, another body in the field
you, safe from your curse
come home, come home
your wife is waiting
come home, come home
