Yeah you cooked his dinners
You raised his children and still
He´s not satisfied
He says I rather switch with you
You don´t now hard it is
To work from 9-5
But he speaks with his eyes closed
And eventhough you´re not all alone
He´s never there to be with you
And you remember when you were young
When life was new and it was fun
Now every corner´s filled with dust

But you´re not coming home tonight

You just took the train
And you left without a wave
Figured he´d never let you leave anyway
And now you´re sitting in that train
Seeing life in a new way
And every forest sings a song
One for the heartbroken lovers
And one for the dreamers
And then there´s one just for you
The wind´s been humming on it all day
And the soil lies awake
Waiting for it´s drumsolo

´Cause you´re not coming home tonight

The ship is sailing
I´ll meet you on the other side
The future´s unclear
But hopefully it will be fine

You´re not coming home tonight
