Another slow, sad number I'm afraid but, even if it's not your cup of tea, please hang in there 'til the very end - the a cappella vocal is just superb!

Humble Country Songwriter.
Just a humble songwriter. First and foremost, a Tune-smith, I suppose. Yes, somehow, melodies just pop into my head, from, like, nowhere, man! Of course, to turn a melody into an actual song, it has to have a set of lyrics - but lyric-writing, for me, is more like "work". Contrast that with composing a melody - man, its such a buzz when you think you've come up with a half-decent new tune.

Story behind the song
For someone who certainly couldn't be classed as a lyricist, I'm quite pleased with the opening few lines on this particular track. That said, it's the ending where it all happens. When we recorded it, the musical backing track had ground to a halt but, even though she'd never sang the song before, Tammy was really into it. I'm on the other side of the glass, urging her to carry on, singing unaccompanied. It wasn't planned, it just happened - but that's how we finished the song
Lyrics
Come Back Home Some say they could tell from Just the place you got your mail from That the grace that I fell from Was so easy to call Well I can’t say where you've gone to But the love I still cling on to Says "come back home" Each day takes forever And the longs nights ain't no better When the mail comes, there's no letter Oh how I long for your call Well you ain’t done nothing wrong now Yes the words of my poor song now Say "come back home" Bridge Yes you and me that night Sure put the world to right You got my wavelength right like no one's done before The stars shone out that night Your one defining light Left me to want you then and want you evermore They say my life's now sure in tatters And darlin' right now I'm so shattered But the one thing, all that matters Is that you passed by at all I know I can't say I've been too clever But I know I, I will for ever Say "come back home" Play out Come back home Just come back home (come back, come back) Come back home (won't you come back home) Just come back home (come back, come back) Come back home (come back home) Oh won't you come back home Come back home Please baby, come back home
