Comin' Back for You

The sky is baby blue
Turning pink around the edges
The sun is headin’ west
Over the wild wood hedges
The nights are turning cold
And they last a little longer
All the birds are flyin’ south
And my heart is beating stronger
They say the summer’s over
But the Indians all knew
It’s comin’ round again
And I’m comin’ back for you

Sometimes you’re runnin’ dry
But you gotta go on livin’
And all you got to give
Are the gifts that you were given
You’re turning out your pockets
Waitin’ at the station
You want to get on board
But you ain’t got no reservation
I rode that train without you
And the lonely whistle blew
But it’s comin’ round again
And I’m comin’ back for you

Once you said you were my biggest fan
When I was burnin’ out on rock and roll
And one night stands
My star went shootin’ by me
And I never had a clue
But it’s comin’ round again
And I’m comin’ back for you

I was runnin’ games in Detroit
And smoke from the Bahamas
I wound up on that county road
Wearin’ striped pajamas
Now I’m comin’ clean
Makin’ my repentance
Doin’ time away from you
Was my cruel, cruel sentence
Freedom’s just another word
For everything to lose
But I’m comin’ round again
And I’m comin’ back for you

I’m layin’ down some rubber
And puttin’ down the pedal
I’m burnin’ through the night
In twenty tons of heavy metal
The radio is playin’
And I’m ridin’ with the music
I got that old time lovin’ feelin’
Honey, I don’t want to lose it
You say my love is sentimental
You can call it déjà vu
But it’s comin’ round again
And I’m comin’ back for you
