You called me up the other night Then beat around the bush Asked me how the dogs are And how the Renos look You paused a sec and took a breath Then it came pouring out You're not sure what you think of god You don't feel like yourself And I said hey Brother won't you come on home If you're tired If it's late If you're broke If the air in your lungs is burning like smoke If you need a place to hide away Shelter or safe haven From singing songs to label heads that live just for the taking If you find that you can't sing the songs of songbirds anymore Cause you're black as night Always flying high And your happy sounds like breaking Come on home boy you're a raven Well you quit the bottle Quit the bud You still fuck But it ain't love No you don't feel like yourself Brother won't you come on home If you're tired If it's late If you're broke If the air in your lungs is burning like smoke If you need a place to hide away Shelter or safe haven From singing songs to label heads that live just for the taking If you find that you can't sing the songs of songbirds anymore Cause you're black as night Always flying high And your happy sounds like breaking Come on home boy you're a raven Brother won't you come on home If you're tired If it's late If you're broke If the air in your lungs is burning like smoke If you need a place to hide away Shelter or safe haven From singing songs to label heads that live just for the taking If you find that you can't sing the songs of songbirds anymore Cause you're black as night Always flying high And your happy sounds like breaking Welcome home boy you're a raven
