Every Time You Go Away

Listen, we have been here before All your bags are packed The taxi is outside You say, you want to live your life But when you change your mind I'll welcome you back home Every time you go away My heart longs for you to stay But I know it won't be long 'til you return I have loved you with an everlasting love Yet you turn away My child you turn away All day long I hold my hands out for you I have paid the costly price to set you free Every time you go away My heart longs for you to stay But I know it won't be long 'til you return Come on (come on) Let us talk this out Though your sins are scarlet red They'll be like snow This is love: not that you loved me But that I would give my life, a sacrifice Every time you go away My heart longs for you to stay But I know it won't be long 'til you return Even now you walk away Think about the words I say My words are life, I promise this Won't you return? (Let's take this home) Do I have to plead tonight? Come on back towards the light Come on home, come on back Won't you return? Come on home, come on back Won't you return?
