Tommy
Been feelin' alone
I wish you could pick up the phone
Never on time
But you always show
Tommy, I wish you could come home
While the earth is turning, clocks tock on
The house is burning since you've been gone
Throat is hurting, smoke in my lungs
Keep on burning while you are gone
Tommy, I can't breathe
Tommy, why'd you leave?
Come home
Spent summer
Skipping rocks
Now all you left behind is a drawer
With a toothbrush and socks
Been playing
Your favorite songs
If you were here
You'd hum along
And while the earth is turning, clocks tock on
Fireplace burning all night long
You'd make me cry and then you'd write me a song
And we'd laugh through tears until the break of dawn
Tommy, I can't breathe
Tommy, why'd you leave?
Come home
Come home
And when you walked out the door
You promised you'd be back
Never guessed I'd never hear your laugh
Eighteen years, thought we had eighty to go
It breaks my heart I have to let you go
Tommy, I can't breathe
Tommy, why'd you leave?
Come home
