Through the wind and the rain I hear my mother's cry
Em C D11 Em C D11
She says, I know my baby's out there, I just couldn't bear to ask her why
Em C D11 Em C D11
From my womb into the world, lord, I wish the child would call
Em C D11 Em C D11
You know I'm needing some company, she makes my life so full
D11 C D11 C
Take my advice, go ahead and live your own life
D11 Em C D11
Everybody's waiting for someone to come home
Like the pharaoh waits for the sand
Em C D11 Em
Come to me and cleanse my soul (I'm free, I'm free)
Em C D11 Em
Only with you am I whole (Can't you see that I am me)
Em C D11 Em C D11
I'll be waiting by the window (I'll be heading for the door)
I was driving down Highway 85, yeah
Em C D11 Em C D11
(I'll be waiting by the window)
And everybody's waiting for someone to come home
Em C D11 Em
Come home
