And when it's finally over
Won't you try coming home?

When I was a young man
And anything was possible
I dreamed of things and ways and means
And talked about a way for us to go

And I was young and so in love
And thought that I was so invincible
Back then I dreamed, it seemed
That anything was possible

And when it's finally over
Won't you try coming home?

When you were born
It was a different world so long ago
And you were raised to tell the truth
Or you'd wind up way down below

And now there's nothing left for you
To do and nothing left for you to know
And you believed that
Anything was possible

And when it's finally over
Won't you try coming home?
And when it's finally over
Won't you try coming home?
Coming home

It's only time and time will find a way to win
Just when you think
You've found the strength to live again
Why don't you tell me something
That I don't already know?

It's only time and time will try to slow you down
Just when you think
You've got it made and gaining ground
Why don't you tell me
Something that I don't already know?

Why can't you see the plan?
Why won't you talk to me?
Why don't you understand?
Why do you all refuse to see?

And when it's finally over
Won't you try coming home?
And when it's finally over
Won't you try coming home?

And when it's finally over
Won't you try coming home?
And when it's finally over
Won't you try coming home?
