lyrics

My old girl left us, ooh
Met everyone who shared her a smile
Now she’s gone
Not yet on moonlit skies

I’m losing you, ooh
I’ve lost you so many times
Come back home
Not yet for moonlit skies

Coming home
Coming home, yeah

I’ve moved through times
I’ve moved through hard times
Seen another life
Never wanted you to go
Now she’s back
My baby’s coming back home

Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes I need you so
Sometimes I let you go
In a quiet place outside
I let you go

Coming home
Coming home, yeah
Coming home
Coming home, yeah
