Come down to the willow garden with me Come go with me, come go and see
Although I've howled across fields And my eyes turned gray Are yours still the same? Are you still the same?
Carry home, I have returned Through so many highways and so many tears
Your letter never survived the heat of my hand My burning hand, my sweating hand Your love never survived the heat of my heart My violent heart in the dark
Carry home, I have returned Through so many highways and so many tears
Carry home to where I am from Carry to the place that I have come Carry to the dust and flies behind me Carry to the cracks and caves on the face of me
Oh, but I didn't change, I just had to work Oh, but I didn't change, I just had to work And now I'm home and now I'm home Do you still want me? Now that I'm home
Come down to the willow garden with me Come go with me, come go and see
Although I've howled across fields And my eyes turned gray Are yours still the same? Are you still the same?
So carry home, I have returned Through so many highways And so many tears, yeah
Oh, but I didn't change, I just had to work No, but I didn't change, I just had to work And now I'm home and I carry home Do you still want me? Now that I'm home
