Everybody's Waiting For Someone To Come Home Lyrics - Indigo Girls

Through the wind and the rain I hear my mother's cry 

She says, "I know my baby's out there 

Just couldn't bear to ask her why 

From my womb into the world 

Lord, I wish the child would call 

You know, I'm needing some company 

She makes my life so full" 

Take my advice, go ahead and live your own life 

Everybody's waiting for someone to come home 

Like the fire waits for the sand 

This world is burning with the tension of human hands 

Waiting to be cleansed, waiting for their ace of spades 

They say, "I sure hope he's coming 

'Cause I feel like I've just been saved"

Take my advice, go ahead and live while you're alive 

Everybody's waiting for someone to come home 

Come to me and cleanse my soul 

(I'm free, I'm free) 

Only with you am I whole 

(Can't you see that I am me?) 

I'll be waiting by the window 

(I'll be heading for the door) 

I was driving down highway 85, yeah 

Had to pull off the road just to hear my radio coming in clearer 

Lord, this life's so full, I said, "Why do we ask for more?" 

While we're waiting for the man to come 

We forgot what he's coming for 

Won't you take my advice, go ahead and live while you're alive 

Everybody's waiting for someone to come home
