With the stained glass streaming light
And the yellow-colored lampshade
Used to keep us up all night
The smile upon your face
And the tears upon your cheek
The night sky on the window
And your heart calling out to me
[Chorus:]
Come running home again Katie
Come running home again
Cross my heart and hope to die
Shall I cause another tear from your eye?
The mirror that won't talk
And your nightgown on the door
The old pedal-singer just won't sing
No more
You can roll the reels for hours
From the movie of this book
It's a question mark on this heart of mine
Sends an elder back to look
[Chorus:]
Now I'm looking through a tunnel
Back into the room
The genius of a druid
And the sunlight floods the tomb
And I'm never going back there
I couldn't anyway
And though I made the great escape
I never got away
[Chorus]x2
Tumbling curls of green With the stained glass streaming light And the yellow-colored lampshade Used to keep us up all night The smile upon your face And the tears upon your cheek The night sky on the window And your heart calling out to me [Chorus:] Come running home again Katie Come running home again Cross my heart and hope to die Shall I cause another tear from your eye? The mirror that won't talk And your nightgown on the door The old pedal-singer just won't sing No more You can roll the reels for hours From the movie of this book It's a question mark on this heart of mine Sends an elder back to look [Chorus:] Now I'm looking through a tunnel Back into the room The genius of a druid And the sunlight floods the tomb And I'm never going back there I couldn't anyway And though I made the great escape I never got away [Chorus]x2 Explain Request ×
