She knows that she hurt you when she left so fast on that long ago dreadful day

She saw the tears just behind your eyes as you promised that you'd always pray

A world of wonder – the land of her dreams all the joy she could ever find

Like a cosmic pull on her child-like heart that wouldn't let go of her mind

         

            But you still set a place at the table for her in the hope that she'll be there

            And you keep her room all swept and clean as a way to say you still care

            So you check the mail for a letter each day from where ever she might roam

            Hoping each time for those magic words – Daddy can I come home

  

How many times has she dialed the call to that number she's always known

But before you answer the panic comes and she hurries to hang up the phone

She fears for what you might think of her if you knew all the things that she's done

But of all the people who could still love her - she knows you're the only one

  

Today you're standing in the pouring rain as the bus pulls into the bay

Your face appears in the expectant crowd and she wonders just what she should say

(All) The words she practiced don't matter now and the only thing that she knows

Is just how much you can still love her in spite of where ever she goes

 

            'Cause you still set a place at the table for her in the hope that she'll be there

            And you've kept her room all swept and clean as a way to say you still care

            So you've checked the mail for a letter each day from where ever she might roam

            Just the other day she said those words – Daddy can I come home?

Daddy Can I Come Home?
