Oh you think that you are lonesome
You think you're so alone
You think that you are lonesome
I'd call you baby but it's just a waste of a dial tone

Oh child when you coming? Oh child when you coming home?

Why you wanna go? Lies they line the road
Out there on your own, Madeline
Why you wanna be? Dreams they die like these
rose stuck in the wings, Madeline

Oh you think it's getting harder
You think it's so hard
You think it's getting harder
I keep a light burning bright honey for you in the front yard

Oh child when you coming? Oh child when you coming home?

Why you wanna go? Lies they line the road
Out there on your own, Madeline
Why you wanna be? Dreams they die like these
Roses tuck in the wings, madeline

I'll paint the moon for you
A thousand colors, green and blue
All for you

Why you wanna go? Lies they line the road
Out there on your own, Madeline
Why you wanna be? Dreams they die like these
Rose stuck in the wings, Madeline
