Empty Nest

How many time will I ride this train

Before it takes me where I wanna go

The Southbound track a different life

A warmer place for a heart growing cold

And she was a dreamer just like me

And I wonder when her rooster crowed

You gotta wake up, you gotta get going

This life ain't enchant her no more

When can you come back?

When can you come back to me?

When can you come back?

When can you come back to me, baby?

So she raised the boys up to see the light

She held so tight, she wouldn't let go

But you gotta let go, yeah, you gotta let go

As the golden heart started to fade to black

She's wondering...

When can you come back?

When can you come back to me?

When can you come back?

When can you come back to me, baby?

And the ghost of former footfalls now been ringing on the phone

And some hearts they won't recover from an empty nest syndrome

And one day the roles reversed, who has to go, who has to stay?

But the grace you've tied to my name I'll take with me always.

As I ride on this train.

When can you come back?

When can you come back to me?

When can you come back?

When can you come back to me, baby?
