Gary Brooker Missing Person Lyrics

(Brooker / Sutherland)

I've been waiting
For you to come home
It's such a long time
So all alone
And when the night comes
It hits me so hard
Thinking about you
And where you've gone
Why don't you come home
Why don't you come home
Why don't you come home

You've got me wondering
What would I do now
If you don't come back
How can I get through now
The way I see it
Sooner or later
You're gonna miss me
Then you'll come running back
Why don't you come home Why don't you come home
Why don't you come home

Every time I hear the telephone
I run and pick it up
Hoping it you to say you're coming back
Every time I see the setting sun
I can't help counting the days you've been gone

The way I see it
Sooner or later
You're gonna miss me
Then you'll come running back
When the night comes
It hits me so hard
I gets me hurtin'
It hits me so hard
Why don't you come home
Why don't you come home
Why don't you come home
