If we sit here in silence the rain will never come   This bone dry desert land it beats us like a drum   And these unspoken words   Are swimming in our bellies drowning love      Won't you come on home my love   Won't you come on home      You used to wake me gently softly calling out my name   The simple bed we'd lie on held our hearts up with its frame   Weeds out on the front porch   Dying leaves down in the basement drain      Won't you come on home my love   Won't you come on home      We're looking down on silent streets for roses in the dirt   We'll kick this like a dead horse but it only makes it worse   We're hitchhiking for a ride one at a time   You know damn well I'm going first      Won't you come on home my love   Won't you come on home      If we sit here in silence the rain would never come   This bone dry desert land beats us like a drum   And these unspoken words   Are swimming in our bellies drowning love
