Lyrics
I've been gone for so long, and how I've missed you
My heart was aching for home
And then one night as I lay down, somewhere far from you
I dreamt that I heard you call my name, but my mind was playing games
I knew right then that I'd returned to where I was before
And I was so tired of being away that I just couldn't stay any more
What did I ever come here for?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
What did I ever come here for?
I thought if I showed up in the night in my best disguise
There is a doorway and your porch light that you would look into my eyes
And you would realise who I am, put your arms around me
You're gonna love me so much more than you ever did before
What did I ever come here for?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
What did I ever come here for?
It wasn't too long before I showed up at your door
I'd been gone a thousand miles
I didn't know how much more I could stand, if I could stand at all
You said I looked like I'd been through world war two
And my soul was worn right through
I thought you would read my mind
I thought you'd ask me to stay
You'd never turned me away like before
But you closed the door anyway
What did I ever come here for?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
What did I ever come here for?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
What did I ever come here for?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
What did I ever come here for?
