come on home
Dark clouds are coming in like an army Soon the sky will open up and disarm me You will go just like you've gone before One sad soldier off to war with enemies that only you can see  Dishes stacked, the table cleared It's always like the scene of the last supper here You speak so cryptically that's not news to me The flood is here it will carry you And I've got work to do  Come on home, the team you're hitched to has a mind of its own But it's just the forces of your past you've fought before Come back here and shut the door I'm stacking sandbags against the river of your troubles  There is fire there is lust Some will trade it all for someone they could trust There's a bag of silver for a box of nails It's so simple the betrayal Though it's known to change the world and what's to come  Just come on home, the team you're hitched to has a mind of its own But it's just the forces of your past you've fought before Don't you recognize them anymore I'm stacking sandbags against the river of your troubles  There's the given and the expected I count my blessings while I eye what I've neglected Is this for better, is this for worse? You're all jammed up and the dam's about to burst.  I hear the owl in the night I realize that some things never are made right By some will we string together here Days to months and months to years What if everything we have adds up to nothing  Come on home, the team you're hitched to has a mind of its own But it's just the forces of your past you've fought before Come back here and shut the door I'm stacking sandbags against the river of your troubles
