Kenneth Aaron Harris - Empty Nest

How many time will I ride this train
Before it takes me where I wanna go
The Southbound track a different life
A warmer place for a heart growing cold

And she was a dreamer just like me
And I wonder when her rooster crowed
You gotta wake up, you gotta get going
This life ain't enchant her no more

When can you come back?
When can you come back to me?
When can you come back?
When can you come back to me, baby?

So she raised the boys up to see the light
She held so tight, she wouldn't let go
But you gotta let go, yeah, you gotta let go
As the golden heart started to fade to black

She's wondering...

When can you come back?
When can you come back to me?
When can you come back?
When can you come back to me, baby?

And the ghost of former footfalls now been ringing on the phone
And some hearts they won't recover from an empty nest syndrome
And one day the roles reversed, who has to go, who has to stay?
But the grace you've tied to my name I'll take with me always.

As I ride on this train.

When can you come back?
When can you come back to me?
When can you come back?
When can you come back to me, baby?
