[Verse 1] You leaving makes me yearn for you. Tail tucks, ears down. I wait by the window like a good girl, the original girl. The house is so empty when you are away. I pace the floorboards slow, I count the steps you used to make. [Pre-Chorus] I don’t even touch my bone. I keep it by the door. Every little sound has me looking up for you once more. [Chorus] You leaving makes me yearn for you. Come home, come home, come home. The house is so empty when you are away. Don’t it make my brown eye half blue? You leaving makes me yearn for you. Come home, come home, come home. I wait by the window like a good girl. I miss you until you come home. [Verse 2] Morning on the rug, evening on the hall. Same old bowl in the corner, same old shadow on the wall. I sniff every blanket, I circle once or twice. Then I settle at the window with my heart small as ice. [Pre-Chorus] I don’t even touch my bone. I keep it by the door. Every little sound has me looking up for you once more. [Chorus] You leaving makes me yearn for you. Come home, come home, come home. The house is so empty when you are away. Don’t it make my brown eye half blue? You leaving makes me yearn for you. Come home, come home, come home. I wait by the window like a good girl. I miss you until you come home. [Bridge] When your key turns in the lock, my tail starts to spin. I forget the empty hours the second you walk in. [Final Chorus] You leaving makes me yearn for you. Come home, come home, come home. The house is so empty when you are away. Don’t it make my brown eye half blue? You leaving makes me yearn for you. Come home, come home, come home. I wait by the window like a good girl. I miss you until you come home.
