I'll Be Home Soon

I’ll be home soon
Where’s the trumpet?
Where’s the crowd?
Where’s the ticker tape parade?

I’ll be home soon
Where’s the trumpet?
Where’s the crowd?
Where are you love?
Did you wait?

I looked so long, oh
But I know it’s a dead end
And then I stop
when I decide
to start over again

And it’s a long life
But I know it’s a dead end
And then I stop
There’s time
To start over again

And get it together
Go see my mother
She can’t know where I’ve been

I’ll be home soon
Where’s the trumpet?
Where’s the crowd?
Where’s the ticker tape parade?

I’ll be home soon
I’ll be a mess
In a dress
With a cloud hanging on my chest
Whiskey on my breath

But it’s a big world
‘til you’ve traveled there and back again
It’ll shrink
Like you’re up above
You’re outside lookin’ in

And it’s a tough thing
Sleeping in my coat again

Get it together
Go see my mother
She can’t know where I’ve been

I’ll be home soon
Where’s the trumpet?
Where’s the crowd?
Where’s the ticker tape parade?

I’ll be home soon
I’ll be a mess
In a dress
With a cloud hanging in my chest
Whiskey on my breath

I’ll be home soon
Where’s the trumpet?
Where’s the crowd?
Where are you love?
Did you wait?
