Well I'm knocking on Death's door 
Will I take my rest 
Among the blessed?... 

Mother are you waiting? 
Father are you pacing? 
I'm coming home 

I'm knocking on Death's door 
Will I take my rest 
In my sunday best?... 

Mother are you anxious? 
Father are you gracious? 
I'm coming home 

I've been away too long 
For so long it was strong 
I've been away too long 
I know that it was wrong 
But I'm coming home 

Well I'm knocking on Death's door 
Will I take my rest? 
Have I passed the test? 

Mother are you praying? 
Father I'm saying: 
I'm coming home
