Come Back to Me Lyrics
[Verse]
Gifts and flowers lay upon the lid
Of pink silk above your face
Tears make a river of diamonds in the dark
Our daddy breaks down at the funeral home
[Verse]
Flies and relations make an annoying sound
We sit or wander round the room
Ribbons are folded on the rose bouquet
And I hear a voice that sounds so much like yours
[Chorus]
Please, please come back to me
I cry and talk to you
Through the bathroom wall
Oh please come back to me
[Verse]
Playing in Cleveland on a Wednesday night
Recovering from the night before
I'm broken and crying in the ladies' room
The opening band is banging out their song
[Chorus]
Please, please come back to me
I cry and talk to you
Through the bathroom wall
Oh please come back to me
[Verse]
I made a shrine for you on the kitchen wall
With flowers and Florida souvenirs
You were walking through the house last night
I knew it was you from the space in your steps
[Chorus]
Please, please come back to me
I cry and talk to you
Through the bathroom wall
Oh please come back to me
