Why in Babylon
Have I been thrown
Like a party clown
Like a paving stone

Was it to find you
In a wedding gown
Was it to love you
Or to let you down

How in the damn world
Would I find the pearls
In the breaking waters
Of some ocean girls

It’s dark and cold
Up the ivory tower
I’ll see the truth unfold
In the midnight hour

You gave me a daughter
And you gave me a son
You gave me laughter
You gave me the sun

Now it’s my turn
To heal the burn
You’ll never be alone
Baby, I’m coming home

I’m sick of hiding
Like a callous dope
Spent my life pulling
On this endless rope

I could not fathom
The depth of your love
Living on the spectrum
Which I’m tired of

And if I broke your heart
When I slammed the door
Know that I’ll make it right
I’ve fixed things before

It’s a long road to wisdom
A heavy cross, forgive me
The man that I’ve become
The one you let me be

You gave me a daughter
And you gave me a son
You gave me laughter
You gave me the sun

Now it’s my turn
To heal the burn
You’ll never be alone
Baby, I’m coming home

I’m coming home
I’m coming home
