Homecoming

Homecoming - Josh Ritter

I feel a change in the weather

I feel a change in me

The days are getting shorter and the birds begin to leave

Even me yes yes y'all

Who has been so long alone

I'm headed home

Headed home

The nights are getting colder now

The air is getting crisp

I first tasted the universe on a night like this

A box of wine and I'll abide

In the hunger in her eyes

In a place where the tree of good and evil still resides

Still resides

Homecoming

Homecoming homecoming

She said show me what you got babe

I'm not like other girls

Just give me your bad self

And a place for us to make a stand and I can move the world

Lift the valley from the floor honey

It'll turn to the sky

They'll say that it's a miracle

And you'll know damn well they're right

Damn well they're right

Homecoming don't go away now

Homecoming homecoming don't go away now

Homecoming don't go away now

Homecoming homecoming don't go away now

Hey now

When the oracle spoke to me she was like a roadside song

Don't go away now

Do unto others as you would have them do

Even if in turn they do you wrong hey now

This town right here is my everything

Though I've been torn away don't go away now

It has my heart

It has my heart

They stole my heart

My heart is there hey now

My heart is there

My heart is there don't go away now

Get just a little bit higher

Get a little tongue tied

Gonna try to find whatever ever made time

That kind of immemorial

That time before the fall

That time before the other turned the corner

Drive east of eden

'Till we start to feel the west

You were never far from nowhere

You could see it from the edge of town

Honey baby wonder how it feel now

Somehow I can't believe

That it could feel like the four but

The air's getting colder now

The nights are getting crisp

I first tasted the universe on a night like this

And I'll abide a box of wine
