Yeah you cooked his dinners
You raised his children and still
He's not satisfied

He says I rather switch with you
You don't now hard it is
To work from 9-5

But he speaks with his eyes closed
And eventhough you're not all alone
He's never there to be with you

And you remember when you were young
When life was new and it was fun
Now every corner's filled with dust

But you're not coming home tonight

You just took the train
And you left without a wave
Figured he'd never let you leave anyway

And now you're sitting in that train
Seeing life in a new way
And every forest sings a song

One for the heartbroken lovers
And one for the dreamers

And there's then one just for you

The wind's been humming on it all day

And the soil lies awake

Waiting for it's drumsolo

'Cause you're not coming home tonight

The ship is sailing

I'll meet you on the other side

The future's unclear

But hopefully it will be fine

You're not coming home tonight
