[Verse 1] There’s a coat by the door And a letter on the stairs Your mother doesn’t sleep much now She only says her prayers There’s a boy down the road With your records in his room He says he’ll learn your favourite song And play it back to you [Pre-Chorus] But the trains keep leaving And the rain keeps falling down Every little street we knew Feels colder in this town [Chorus] So come home when the morning comes Come home with the rising sun No one wins when the young are gone And all we love is coming undone Lay down your sorrow Lay down your gun Come home when the morning comes [Verse 2] There are names on the wall That nobody wants to read And flowers by the station For the boys who had to leave They told you it was honour They told you to be brave But no one told your little sister How to smile beside your grave [Pre-Chorus] And the church bells ringing Don’t sound the way they did When every empty bedroom Still belongs to someone’s kid [Chorus] So come home when the morning comes Come home with the rising sun No one wins when the young are gone And all we love is coming undone Lay down your sorrow Lay down your gun Come home when the morning comes [Bridge] We don’t need another flag We don’t need another lie We just need the ones we love To make it through the night And if the world has lost its way Let the quiet people say Enough is enough Enough is enough [Final Chorus] Come home when the morning comes Come home with the rising sun No one wins when the young are gone And all we love is coming undone Lay down your sorrow Lay down your gun Come home when the morning comes [Outro] When the morning comes When the morning comes Come home Come home
