Come Back to Me Lyrics


Hear my voice, where you are
Take a train, steal a car
Hop a freight, grab a star
Come back to me
Catch a flame, catch a breeze
On your hands, on your knees
Swim or fly, only please
Come on back to me
On a mule, on a jet
Put yourself in a net
But come back to me yet
I don't care, this is where you should be
From the hills, from the shore
Ride the wind to my door, turn the highway into dust
Break the law if you must, move the world only just

Come back to me
What on earth must I do
Scream and yell till I'm blue
Curse your soul when will you
Come on back to me
Have you gone to the moon
Or the corner saloon
And to crack and to croon
I don't care, this is where you should be
In a crate, in a trunk
On a horse, on a drunk
In a road or a van
Wrap yourself in saran
Anyway that you can
Come back to me
Come back to me
Come back to me

Horn, who died in 2005, was a jazz singer and pianist whose style's watchword is "intimacy." Her vocal manner is akin to Miles Davis' trumpet style: not technically flashy, but definitively setting the song's mood. Indeed, it was Davis who discovered Horn in 1960 and who became an admirer despite his well-known dislike of vocalists generally. Horn was never a big record-seller, but she was well-respected by her peers.
