I'm Coming Home (Where mi heart belong)

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

Mi reach di town safe now darlin

Don't yuh worry bout di long night road

Mi find a little room when di sun was fallin

Four bare wall but it hold mi load

Mi tinkin bout yuh voice when di lamp dem glow

How yuh call mi name soft and slow

It get cold here when di night stretch long

But di memory of yuh keep mi strong

Chorus

Mi far from home but mi heart is there

Same moon shinin on yuh same moon over di square

Distant man can't climb no telephone wire

But di love mi carry burn like fire

Tell mi woman hold on till mi return

Tell mi pickney Daddy lovin and yuh learn

Though di miles keep pullin us apart

Home is where mi heart belong

Verse 2

Hey mi pickney hear yuh now

Big man voice but yuh mother know

Listen to her when she tell yuh how

Every long day mi work fi di future grow

Stay in school and learn yuh lesson well

Daddy not forget yuh nah no time

When yuh hear a stranger knock di bell

Make sure it not di cold outside

Mi look at yuh picture by mi bed each night

And mi wonder bout di questions in yuh head

Chorus

Mi far from home but mi heart is there

Same moon shinin on yuh same moon over di square

Distant man can't climb no telephone wire

But di love mi carry burn like fire

Tell mi woman hold on till mi return

Tell mi pickney Daddy lovin and yuh learn

Though di miles keep pullin us apart

Home is where mi heart belong

Instrumental Dub

Bridge

Some nights mi want fi drop it all

Take di first road home before di fall

Mi hear yuh laughin through di wire

And mi heart swell up like a river fire

But mi remember why mi left dis land

No work at home fi hold up in mi hand

Mi leave fi build a better home

Not fi leave yuh out alone

Verse 3

Sunrise over a foreign town

Mi feel di distance weigh mi down

Money sent home in a folded note

But no envelope can hold di hope

Mi dream of walkin through dat door

Di same front door mi knew before

Wake up beside yuh when di morning come

And never fi have to leave again

Final Chorus

Yes mi far from home but mi heart is there

Same moon shinin on yuh same moon over di square

Distant man can't climb no telephone wire

But di love mi carry burn like fire

Tell mi woman hold on till mi return (hold on)

Tell mi picknee Daddy lovin and yuh learn (mi a comin)

Though di miles keep pullin us apart

Home is where mi heart belong

Tell mi children Daddy comin home (comin home)

Tell mi woman don't yuh weep alone (don't weep)

Old suitcase waitin by di door

One day soon mi won't leave no more

Outro

Mm-hmm

Mi comin home

Mm-hmm

One day soon
