From the recording Running on Smoke
This song came when I (Bob) was alone with my guitar on my front porch. It was a melancholy summer day and I was steeped in memories of a long-ago time on the road. It is a simple song. I think the gradual layering of vocals and instruments make it work.
Lyrics
COMING HOME
I’m coming home
Tonight in my dreams
I’m coming home
Tonight in my dreams
Safe within your arms
Or so it seems
Safe within your arms
Tonight night in my dreams
Safe within your arms
Each night in my dreams
Never been apart
Or so it seems
Never been apart
Each night in my dreams
Never been apart
Each night in my dreams
You’re still loving me
Or so it seems
You’re still loving me
Each night in my dreams
You’re still loving me
Each night in my dreams
Been gone so long
I only see you in my dreams
Been gone so long
I only see you in my dreams
Been gone so long
I only see you in my dreams
So I’m coming home
Tonight in my dreams
I’m coming home
Tonight in my dreams
I’m coming home
Tonight in my dreams
Safe within your arms
Or so it seems
I’m coming home
