"Hurry Home" lyrics

Hurry Home

You left and said the test of time
Would tell us how we felt
Well, weeks have gone
My love is strong
But my heart's about to melt

If you're not sure
Then please come home
If only just for me
And when I'm strong
And feel secure
Again then you can leave

So hurry home, my baby
I need you by my side
The lonesome's getting lonelier
And growing deep inside

A memory only keeps me warm
For so long when you're gone
So hurry home, my baby
Hurry home
Hurry home, my baby
Hurry home

I know you've got to be away
But why away so long
The distance only changed the time
And drags it slowly on

Your voice inside a telephone
Is emptying up my soul
And only one thing fills it
That's to have you here to hold

So hurry home, my baby
I need you by my side
The lonesome's getting lonelier
And growing deep inside

A memory only keeps me warm
For so long when you're gone
So hurry home, my baby
Hurry home
Hurry home, my baby
Hurry home
