Coming Home To This – Ed Newberg – letras

Got a movie from home on a VHSIt was three months late by it’s cancelled stampsMy boss had a deck in the Officer’s messSo he fired it up while I blew out the sandThe first image I saw made my heart raceTwo blues candles and my little boy JakeHis smile was a big as his birthday cakeHe said « wanna know what I wish?That daddy’s coming home to This »Oh, Sweet InnocenceMy dad snuck in the kitchen with the record button pressedAnd there was my mom in her long summer dressKneeling by a chair, she was saying a prayer, with no idea he was standing thereHe tapped her shoulder and she slapped his hand and Laughingly said « you’re such a silly man »Then she possed by the stove with my favorite dish.She said « by the grace of God son, you’ll be coming home to This »Oh, Such LovingnessMy wife blew me a kiss with a stiff upper lipBut I heard a faint sigh when she waved goodbyeThen grandad wiped her eyes with his red hankerchief and said « careful out there boy, so you can come home to This »Oh, Sweet TendernessThat night as a laid in my wind tattered tent, with two blue candles and that VHSI held them as tight as I could to my chest and promised myself I’d take careSo I could come home to ThisAll this PeacefulnessDaybreak on a Sunday I arrived unannouncedA brand new Flag hung at my houseIt was my first war and I hope it’s my last, but I’d do it again should my country askAnd if that’s the case I have only one wish.Wanna know what I wish?That I’ll be coming home to ThisAll This InnocenceAll This LovingnessOh Sweet TendernessAll This PeacefulnessComing home to This
