I'm Coming Home
The Stories Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm coming, yes I'm coming home
You know that I'll be there
I'm coming now, don't you try to phone
Or turn the music down low
I'm coming, yes I'm coming
You know that I'll be running
I'm coming darling, I'll be there
Darling, you once said we could make
Everything work that we had
I didn't think that you would lie
Or try to hide it inside
I'm coming, yes I'm coming
You know that I'll be running
I'm coming, yes, you know that...

I said many times before
You would never close your door
I... Come on
I said many times before
You would never close your door
I...

I'm coming, yes now I'm coming home
You know that I'll be there
I'm coming, don't you try to phone
Or turn the music down low
I'm coming, yes I'm coming
You know that I'll be running
I'm coming, yes you know that
I...

Oooh I'm coming home, yeah, come on
Oh, I'm coming home, yeah




Don't, don't try to phone, no no no oh oh now
Now I'm coming home, ooooohh

I could never figure out why this song wasn't a hit. So much different--and better, I think--than Brother Louie.

MrGoldenthroat

A million times better!!!!

Not enough drama caused by this one?

I bought the single. But just because I love the song doesn't mean I bought another copy.

MrGoldenthroat

I consider this a Left Banke sparkling jewel of a tune!! A true treasure to embrace!!!

One of the best voices ever in pop/Rock music Ian Lloyd.

MrGoldenthroat

Still remember buying this single, many miles ago.
So different than "Brother Louie", very Beatlesque.
