What Did I Ever Come Here For

I've been gone for so long, and how I've missed you

My heart was aching for home

And then one night as I lay down, somewhere far from you

I dreamt that I heard you call my name, but my mind was playing games

I knew right then that I'd returned to where I was before

And I was so tired of being away that I just couldn't stay any more

What did I ever come here for?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no

What did I ever come here for?

I thought if I showed up in the night in my best disguise

There is a doorway and your porch light that you would look into my eyes

And you would realise who I am, put your arms around me

You're gonna love me so much more than you ever did before

What did I ever come here for?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no

What did I ever come here for?

It wasn't too long before I showed up at your door

I'd been gone a thousand miles

I didn't know how much more I could stand, if I could stand at all

You said I looked like I'd been through world war two

And my soul was worn right through

I thought you would read my mind

I thought you'd ask me to stay

You'd never turned me away like before

But you closed the door anyway

What did I ever come here for?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no

What did I ever come here for?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no

What did I ever come here for?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no

What did I ever come here for?
