Story behind the song
For my long departed mom, Dorothy Irene Eisenbach. Every day I grow a little older and a little closer to our inevitable reunion.
Lyrics
VERSE: Mama, won't you carry Me back where I belong I've had all I can take of this world for too long All these crowded cities Where everyone's alone Mama won't you carry me back home VERSE: Hey mama I’ve been thinking ‘bout all you said And I’m sorry That I let you down in my head I step up to that moment And everything goes red Then I turn and run away instead BRIDGE: Our lives are just scenes From the Gypsy's dreams On her bed of sage Where the moon whispers secrets to the seas She's deciphered the laws In the furious stars Then when she awakes Her stories turn into you and me VERSE: Mama, I won’t write these letters any more Rather Tell you face to face What I saw You warned me it’d burn me But I had to know for sure Soon I will see you at your door BRIDGE: Our lives are just scenes From the Gypsy's dreams On her bed of sage Where the moon whispers secrets to the seas She's deciphered the laws In the furious stars Then when she awakes Her stories turn into you and me VERSE: Mama, I’ll be coming home pretty soon Don’t you bother and don’t worry I love you Never Could another Know me like you do So, yeah, I’m coming home to you
