about

I wrote this one back in the late 70s. This is the first time I recorded it.

lyrics

I'm coming home sweet Theresa
I'm going back to where I came
And how I thought I’d find a brand new world without ya
But the one thing that I can say now it’s not the same
Not the same
I can tell you darling that it’s not the same

I'm coming home sweet Theresa
I’m getting out of this mess
And when I left I thought I’d find so much beyond there
But it seems any joy I had once I’m feeling less
Less and less
I can tell you darling that I feel it less
Less and less

And in the city
There are lights and shows and everyone knows
But I did not understand
That the transit tracks
And the coffee shacks
And as-sorted facts could never make me
Feel as good as when I take your hand
Take your hand
Take my hand

I'm coming home sweet Theresa
There’s so much hard here and it just can’t go on
But I know that this dark time will be worth while
If I can appreciate the dawn
See the dawn
Oh ain’t it beautiful to see the dawn
See the dawn

And in the city
There are lights and shows and everyone knows
But I could not take my mind
Off the ozoned air
And my favorite people
Who always cared a-bout each other
And the love I left behind
Left behind
Left behind

I'm coming home sweet Theresa
I'm going back to where I came
And when I left I thought I’d find so much without ya
But the one thing that I can say now it’s not the same
Not the same
I can tell you darling that it’s not the same
Not the same no it’s not the same
Not the same
