It's too cold by the window
and too hot by the fire
The porch light is burnt out
and the sky looks tired
It's all wrong while you're gone
It's all wrong while you're gone
The bedroom is like a Monday
and the phone is my only song
The nights a broken radio
even the dogs face is long
It's all wrong while you're gone
It's all wrong while you're gone
Come home and the birds will bring you honey
Come home and flowers will bloom
Come home are you as lonesome
Come home soon
I can hear your wheels
turn on the lonely highway
Ice kicked up in the February sun
of the town Thunderbay
It's all wrong while you're gone
It's all wrong while you're gone
Come home and the birds will bring you honey
Come home and flowers will bloom
Come home are you as lonesome
Come home soon
East to west, north to south,
blind in the pines of highway 69
Thirty loads in thirty nights,
thirty cities and dirty dashboard days
It's all wrong while you're gone
It's all wrong while you're gone
Come home and the birds will bring you honey
Come home and flowers will bloom
Come home are you as lonesome
Come home soon
