I Come Home

Feeny Catherine

I come home 
And I find myself alone again 
And I need your voice on the phone 
To remind me of how brave I am 
Cause I get scared at night and I lose my heart 
I see faces in my window, I hear noises in the dark 
I lose my mind between the front door and the car 
But you cannot run from demons 
They know just where you are 

And I buy draperies to keep me in 
Cause I fear my heart is beating on the outside of my skin 
And anyone who wants to can look on in 
They will find me in my solitude 
Yeah, sometimes in my sin 

Cause these walls ain’t thick enough to keep out the sound 
Of the ghosts who dance outside my door 
They feed upon the ground 
They stepped on from the heavens 
They reach up from the mud 
Their eyes are empty 
They are looking for blood 

There was a lady, she lived next door 
She ain’t living anywhere anymore 
No, she died slowly and full of pain 
And I never saw her face and I never learned her name 
But she visits me on some days 
She asks me where I come from 
She asks me why I stay 

But she knows that I get scared at night and I lose my heart 
See faces in my window, I hear noises in the dark 
And I lose my mind between the front door and the car 
But you cannot run from demons 
They know just where you are 
They know just where you are 

And I come home 
And I need your voice on the phone 
I need your voice on the phone 
I need your voice on the phone 
I need your voice
