You're Not Coming Home Tonight

Yeah you cooked his dinners

You raised his children

Still he's not satisfied

He says "I'd rather switch with you

You don't know how hard it is

To work from 9 to 5"

But he speaks with his eyes closed

And even though you're not all alone

He's never there to be with you

And you remember when you were young

When life was new and it was fun

Now every corner's filled with dust

But you're not coming home tonight

You just took the train

And you left without a wave

Figured he'd never let you leave anyway

And now you're sitting on that train

Seeing life in a new way

And every forest sings a song

One for the heartbroken lovers

And one for the dreamers

And then there's one just for you

The winds been humming on it all day

Ans the soil lies awake

Waiting for it's drum solo

'Cause you're not coming home tonight

The ship is sailing

I'll meet you on the other side

The future's unclear

But hopefully it will be fine

You're not coming home tonight
