I thought I´d come to you
And your long lazy scene
Instate direction, finger on a magazine.
I´d call you when I need you
I can´t get used to your new name.

Send a body double over with your keys
She´ll see you in an hour
Everybody quiet please.
Essex house is down the road
The actors want to be alone.

Your room is still and soft
As a jeweler´s.
Incidental music coming down the hall
Remember when I never had to wait for you at all?
I wish my hands were yours as I lay your keys
On a magazine.

Take me to LaGuardia
My baby´s gonna pay for me.

Bottle from the duty-free
I´ll drink it all across the sea.
Lay me down business class
Headphones and a sleeping mask.

She´s gonna pay for me
She´s gonna pay for me.

Brother, I wish you were home
Just tell me you´re not alone
Call me back; I´m on a plane
I think I´m somewhere over spain.
I´m in the dark without the stars
I´ve never seen a black suit dark
Thought I´d be above the rain
Somewhere on a higher plane.

Oh brother, I wish you were home
My brother, I wish you were home.

Baby, you´re asleep by now
You never stayed awake for me
You never waited up for me,
No, you never waited up for me!
Now there´s nothing I can do
I lost you but I beat the sound
Couldn´t if I wanted to
The cogwheel doesn´t turn around!

Oh brother, I wish you were home
My baby is in a room alone.

My brother, I wish you were home.
