    The Homecoming Song

    by: Owsley

    Take me back in time
    To the day I was your valentine
    No halo over your head
    We stayed at home and spent the day in bed
    Your skin so hot to the touch
    I never wanted anyone so much
    Your a sight for sore eyes to see
    Won't somebody come and rescue me
    I've spent along time away
    And it's good to be home
    And together is better than being alone
    It's a far cry from anything I've ever felt like before
    Yes and long is the road
    That's been leading me back to your door
    A daydream out of the blue
    Into something so sad but true
    An old friend back from the dead
    To steal the covers sleeping in your bed
    I never meant to be an aggravation
    I'm only looking for a second chance
    I'm so hard-headed that determination
    Left me all alone
    That's why I'm coming home
