Come On Home (live) Lyrics - Indigo Girls

Dark clouds are comin' in like an army 

Soon the sky will open up and disarm me 

You will go just like you've gone before 

One sad soldier off to war, with enemies that only you can see. 

Dishes stacked, the table cleared 

It's always like the scene of the last supper here 

You speak so cryptically, but that's not news to me 

The flood is here it will carry you 

And I've got work to do. 

Come on home, the team you're hitched to has a mind of its own 

But it's just the forces of your past you've fought before 

Come back here and shut the door 

I'm stacking sandbags against the river of your troubles.

There is fire there is lust 

Some will trade it all for someone they could trust 

There's a bag of silver for a box of nails 

It's so simple the betrayal 

Though it's known to change the world and what's to come. 

Just come on home, the team you're hitched to has a mind of its own 

But it's just the forces of your past you've fought before 

Don't you recognize them anymore 

I'm stacking sandbags against the river of your troubles. 

There's the given and the expected 

I count my blessings while I eye what I've neglected 

Is this for better is this for worse 

You're all jammed up and the dam's about to burst. 

I hear the owl in the night 

I realize that some things never are made right 

By some will we string together here 

Days to months and months to years 

What if everything we have adds up to nothing.

Come on home, the team you're hitched to has a mind of its own 

But it's just the forces of your past you've fought before 

Come back here and shut the door 

I'm stacking sandbags against the river of your troubles.
