He wants a little brass ring
Fastened to her finger.
She wants him home ‘cause he wants to
(Not ‘cause he needs to) be.
They talk on his empty roads
And her television shows.
It goes, “Darling I miss you,
When are you going to come home?”
Darling I miss you,
When are you going to come home?
Darling I miss you,
When are you going to come home?
She picks up all his songs off the floor
And neatly arranges them.
A hiccup that won’t go away
Though she denies it oxygen.
She picks up with a sigh and a strain
Every time he telephones.
It goes, “Darling I miss you,
When are you going to come home?”
Darling I miss you,
When are you going to come home?
Darling I miss you,
When are you going to come home?
Darling I miss you,
When are you going to come home?
Darling I miss you,
When are you going to come home
Where your darling’s waiting at
The door
And her heart is wondering what
It’s for
While you’re out there wandering
Other shores?
Where’s your mind, kid?
Darling I miss you,
When are you going to come home?
Darling I miss you,
When are you going to come home?
Darling I miss you,
When are you going to come home?
Darling I miss you,
When are you going to come home?
Darling I miss you,
When are you going to come home?
