Lyrics

I'm waiting on the porch to hear you call my name
You said you'd be an hour, you're missing now for days
The moon begins to rise, the sun's started to fade
The wolves begin to howl and my body starts to shake

Envisioning the worst unknowing if you're safe
Awaiting by the door imagining your fate
Lost upon a trail in some forgotten range
Or captured by some injuns who kept you as a lsave

(Chorus) Come Home, I prayed all night that you'd find your way
and Come Home, you'd hear the river as it called your name
and Come Home,it's ghosts would lead you as the trees would whisper...Come Home

I'm dreaming that I see you descending from the hills
Your silhouette is haunting, my spine is getting chills
I focus on your image but something's not the same
Yearning for your smile but death rode in it's place

(Chorus)

I was living on a rocky mountain the day you never came home
Left forgotten on a granted homestead deep in the forest alone
The ghosts of the river sent a shiver through my bones
Late in the evenings as the cold winds chilled my bones
Come Home...
