What Did I Ever Come Here For

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?
