lyrics

HOME TO ROOST:

I don’t know why you wanted to know
Every trick in my book
You just couldn’t look
Beyond the flaws
Was that the cause
Of your going away
You just couldn’t stay
It seems to me
that you wanted to be
Free on your own
A woman alone

In a world filled with hearts
That so often seem so far apart
It’s low to end it all before it starts

It all comes home to roost some day

I’ve been known to deceive
It’s really quite a relieve
That you know me now
Couldn’t hide anyhow
What’s one more lie or two
When we’re already through
I don’t care for you
And I’m not feeling blue

In a world filled with hearts
That so often seem so far apart
It’s low to end it all before it starts

Bridge:
I want to tell you something true x 2
I’m young and I’m old
I’m warm and then cold
I’m meek and then bold
I’m good and then evil
And that’s the nature of people

It all comes home to roost some day x 3
