[Verse 1] You came when I wasn't looking... You stayed... Through all the pain... I stayed... Right beside you... Oh darlin'! And ohhhh ohhh ohh... I stayed... And will remain... True! To you! Oh darlin'!!! I love you! So strongly... Some days... Some nights... It scares me! How I can't go!! A daaayyy... Without you darlin'... Oh Lord! My soul! Oh Lord! MY LOVE!!!! [Hard-hitting, emotional, purely human piano instrumental] [Chorus] I'm COMING!!! Toooo-hooo yooo-oooo... My darlin'... I'm comin' home... I swear... To the only home... I KNOW!!! [Pure emotion — heart poured into the piano; overwhelming longing, devotion and love] [Verse 2] I've wandered... Through the darkness... I've carried... More than I could bear... But every road... I've ever taken... Oh darlin'... Still leads me there... To yooo-oooo... And if these hands... Should start to tremble... If this old voice... Should fail me too... Then let my heart... Keep on singin'... Every beat... Belongs... TO YOU!!! Oh darlin'!!! Can't you hear me?! Across these mile-hi-hi-iles... Across the sea?! There ain't a thing... In God's creation... That could keep me... From your side!!! [Piano surges — harder now, imperfect and human, almost violently emotional] [Chorus] I'M COMING!!! Toooo-hooo yooo-oooo!!! MY DARLIN'!!! I'm comin' home!!! I swear... On every breath... That's left... Inside these bones!!! I'm coming!!! Toooo-hooo yooo-oooo!!! 'Cause wherever... You are... IS THE ONLY HOME... I KNOW!!! [Extended piano instrumental — enormous emotion, then gradually falling quiet] [Bridge — nearly whispered] And if tomorrow... Never comes... If tonight... Is all we're given... Let me spend... My final hour... Knowing somewhere... You're still listenin'... 'Cause I have loved you... Through the hurt... I have loved you... Through the questions... And I'd cross... Every lonely mile... Just to hold you... Near... [Long silence] Ohhhhhh... Darlin'... [Piano begins again — soft, trembling] [Final Chorus — restrained beginning, building into an overwhelming climax] I'm... Coming... Toooo-hooo yooo-oooo... My darlin'... I'm comin' home... And I swear... If I have to crawl... Every mile... ALONE!!! I'M COMING!!! TOOOO-HOOO YOOO-OOOO!!! OH, DARLIN'!!! CAN'T YOU HEAR ME?! Every breath!!! Every prayer!!! Every road!!! Led me there!!! TO YOU!!! Oh Lord... My soul... Oh Lord... MY LOOOOOOVE!!!! I'm coming... Hoooooome... To yooo-oooo... [Final piano instrumental — enormous initial chords slowly breaking apart into softer, solitary notes; no flourish, no polish, only exhausted love]
