It's of a girl that i once knew Her hair was gold, her eyes were blue She had a way of seeing things The way they really are And if you'd seen her walk the lane I swear to you you'd feel the same You'd kneel down and ask her hand You'd wanna be her loving man You'd breathe the air she breathes anew You'd find it easy to be true Come back, come back to what you are Come back, come back to what you are Everything i ever owned In my backyard in a pile Ain't it good to see it go Ain't it good to set a fire I'll take him to my special place Above the town to see the lights He'll see the day for what it is From up above it all seems right He'll breathe the air i breathe anew He'll find it easy to be true Come back, come back to what you are Come back, come back to what you are Come back, come back to what you are Come back, come back to what you are
