lyrics

Farewell Frankenstein my horizon
God knows there’s no truth in books
if Palestine is all crawling with beggars
then Israel’s all falling for crooks
everyone’s born with desire
said she who cast the first stone
why go on residing on faraway islands
I wish that you would come home

The pride of East Hampton, Virginia
saw the mask of the minstrel get mugged
when the judge put a price on the talent
that ran crazy rich in his blood
You laugh now whenever I tell it
and respond like I need to know
tell the ashes of glory of that ghost in your story
I wish that you would come home

Woman please magic leaves for no reason
No key left will unlock this door
No magician can bring back the vision
Nobody lives here no more
i declare to no congregation
to the birds through the church of your phone
who sing my confession when I leave a message
I wish that you would come home

the crows show the rooftops of Brussels
where the traveler remembers the sky
to the guru who asks you who you are
time after time after time
Let us go now this housekeeper’s crazy
and find us some other device
to hide childish sorrows from borrowed tomorrows
I wish that you would come home

on the side of a faraway mountain
on the eve of a long ago birth
the stars shined from high in the darkness
to one quiet place on the earth
where the cops at the end of the opera
the innkeeper slyly consoles
keep your eyes and ears open for the doorway to open
one day you’ll find you’re at home

your hummingbirds all haunt up my bookshelf
your dreamcatchers shelter my bed
your sun shines the fruit of my living
your moon shines the dram of my dead
all debts are one day forgiven
each dynasty’s doomed to dethrone
off in the distance
you’ll hear if you listen
I wish that you would come home
I wish that you would come home
