When she called my sneakers tennis shoes 
I knew she was from the west coast 
Or the best coast 
Like she'd say and I had to disagree 

I fell in love with a ship 
A vessel with at least 20 holes 
Yeah but she still floats 
I fell in love with the sea 
A brilliant tidal wave 
She devistated me 

Come back home 
And bring those green eyes 
Oh when are you coming home? 

I fell in love with a queen, a king 
She burnt my village down 
I paid her with love and taxes 
I fell in love with a street sign that told me where to go 
Oh why do I go anywhere? 

Come back home 
And bring those green eyes 
When are you coming home? 
Get back here 
Cause baby these blue eyes 
Are never as bright without you 

And when you called me from San Fransisco 
I knew you had started a new life 
Yeah without me 
You're only you 

Come back home 
And bring those green eyes 
Oh when are you coming home? 
Get back here 
Cause baby these blue eyes 
Are never as bright without you 
When are you coming home? 
When are you coming home? 
when are you coming home? 
when are you coming home?
