Come Back To Me
Matt Monro Lyrics

Hear my voice where you are
I want you to hear me calling out to you no matter where you are.

Take a train, steal a car
You should use any means of transportation available to get here.

Hop a freight, grab a star, come back to me
You can even take a ride on a freight, or do the impossible and travel to space, I want you to come back to me.

Catch a plane, catch a breeze
If you want to fly, take a plane, or if you want to take a pleasant journey, just catch a breeze.

On your hands, on your knees
You can crawl here if you have to, but just come back to me.

Swim or fly, only please, come back to me
I don't care how you get here, just come back to me.

On a mule, in a jet
You can ride a mule or even take a jet, I just want you to come back to me.

With your hair in a net
Even if your hair is tied up in a net, it doesn't matter to me, just come back to me.

In a towel wringing wet
If you arrive soaking wet wearing only a towel, don't worry, just come back to me.

I don't care, this is where you should be
No matter what you look like or how you get here, I believe that you belong by my side and I won't give up on you.

From the hills, from the shore
You can travel from anywhere, whether it's the hills or the shore, just come back to me.

Ride the wind to my door
If you want to, you can even ride the wind to get to my house.

Turn the highway to dust
If you have to break the rules or go against the norm to get here, then do it and turn the highway to dust on your way.

Break the law if you must
I don't care if you have to resort to breaking the law, as long as you come back to me.

Move the world, only just come back to me
You can do the impossible and move the world, but I only care about you coming back to me.

Blast your hide, hear me call
Even if I have to yell and shout, I want you to hear me calling out to you.

Must I fight City Hall
I will do whatever it takes to get you back, even if I have to fight the powers that be.

Here and now, damn it all, come back to me
I don't want to wait any longer, I want you to come back to me right now.

What on Earth must I do
I'm desperate to have you back and I don't know what else I can do to bring you back to me.

Scream and yell till I'm blue
I'll do whatever it takes to convince you to come back to me.

Curse your soul when will you come back to me?
I'm frustrated and angry that you're not here with me, and I'm constantly wondering when you'll finally come back to me.

Have you gone to the moon or the corner saloon
I don't know where you are or what you're doing, but I can't help but imagine all sorts of possibilities.

Or to wreck and to ruin
I worry that something bad has happened to you and that you're in trouble.

Mademoiselle, where in Hell can you be?
I'm asking where you are because I'm worried about you and I need you to come back to me.

Leave a sign on your door
If you're not around, leave me a sign to let me know where you are or when you're coming back.

Out to lunch ever more
If you have to go out and do your own thing, just make sure you eventually come back to me.

In a Royce or a van, wrapped in mink or Saran
Whether you're riding in a fancy car or just wrapped in plastic, I want you to come back to me.

Anyway that you can, come back to me
I'm pleading with you to do whatever it takes to come back to me.

Hear my voice through the din
Amidst all the noise and chaos, I want you to focus on my voice and hear me calling out to you.

Feel the waves on your skin
As you travel, let the waves of my love wash over you and guide you back to me.

Like a call from within, come back to me
My call to you will come from deep within me, and I hope it guides you back to me.

Leave behind all your own
I'm asking you to leave everything behind that's keeping you from coming back to me.

Tell your flowers you will phone
You may have to leave people or things behind, but make sure to let them know you'll be back soon.

Let your dog walk alone, come back to me
Even if it means leaving your dog behind, I'm asking you to come back to me.

Let your tub overflow
If you're in a hurry, don't worry about small things like letting your tub overflow, just come back to me.

If a date waits below
If you have other commitments or plans, forget about them and come back to me instead.

Let him wait for Godot
Just like the character from Beckett's play, let him wait forever, but make sure to come back to me.

Come by rail,
Take the train to come back to me.

Come by mail, COD
Even if you have to pay on delivery (COD), I'm asking you to come back to me.

Par avion, par bateau
You can come by air or by sea, it doesn't matter as long as you come back to me.

Dans une vielle, deux chevaux
Even if you have to come on an old two-horse carriage, I want you to come back to me.

Come by steam, come by gas
You can travel by steam or by gas power, it doesn't matter how you get here as long as you do.

Call for free on a pass
If you need to use a free pass to make a call, do it and let me know when you're coming back to me.

On the drags and the glass, come back to me
Even if you're high on drugs or drunk, don't forget to come back to me.

Leave your bills all unpaid
If you have bills that are due, forget about them and come back to me instead.

Let your bed go unmade
If you're in a hurry, don't worry about making your bed, just come back to me.

Your souffle unsouffled, come back to me
If you leave your souffle unsouffled, I won't care as long as you come back to me.

Come by sail, come by freight
You can come by sail, or even travel as cargo on a freighter, it doesn't matter as long as you come back to me.

In a box or a tray, keep your head on the plate
Even if you're packed in a box or tray, make sure to keep your head on the plate and come back to me.

I don't care this is where you should be
I don't care how you get here or what you look like, I just know that this is where you belong.

Come in pain or in joy
Whether you're happy or sad, I'm asking you to come back to me.

As a girl, as a boy
You can be whoever or whatever you want, just make sure to come back to me.

In a bag or a trunk (Shut up!)
Even if you have to travel in a bag or trunk, just make sure to come back to me. (The 'shut up' is not related to the overall meaning of the lyric)

On a horse or a drunk
You can ride on a horse, or even drunk, as long as you eventually make your way back to me.

In the flora or faun, come back to me
You can even travel through the flora or faun, just make sure to come back to me.

Come back to me, come back
I want you to know, above all else, that I want you to come back to me.
