And a sorrow in repeating all the old familiar wrongs
There's a wisdom in the teachings of the old familiar songs
Lover, am I coming home again?
Light a light, light a light for me
And now the time begins to fade
Bring me back home again
When you're gone the sun don't shine
Lover, am I coming home again?
How we laughed all our tears away
Now am I waiting for the sound of your saying
Light a light, light a light for me
Now am I humble, who once was proud
Light a light, light a light for me
Bring me back home again
And a lesson to be learned though I've known all day long
I feel your eyes in every starry sky
Now am I silent, who once was loud
Light a light, light a light for me
And how we loved 'til the years were days
Lover, am I coming home again?
Lover, am I coming home again?
