Come Around Lyrics

Did you fall again

Off the edge of the world

Were you wrestling lions

Or diving for pearls

I’ve always pictured you

As the fearless kind

Laying waste to armies

With a sword and a smile

If you come around this way

If you come around this way

Say hello

Twenty years ago

A girl fell to your charms

Then watched you sail away

A babe in her arms

I’ve waited all this time to make

My acquaintance with you

All hope of your return

Long faded from view

But if you come around this way

If you come around this way

Say hello

Every time you kiss your child goodnight

Are you reminded of the lullaby

You used to sing to soothe the heart you’d chosen to deny

If you come around this way

If you come then please don’t stay

Now the sun won’t show

And the rain comes slow

But the trees they know

And the sky hits the ground

Like a storm without a sound

But the blood cries aloud

Why did you go away

Why couldn’t you stay

Did the miles help you to erase

The hurt, the guilt, the shame you couldn’t bear to face

Why did you go away
