Lyrics & Music by:  Ian McLeish
 

1.
When I get home - things'll be alright -
Whan I get home, I'll light the darkness of night;
Give me a chance to prove I need you -
Girl, you'll get the lovin' decreed you -
When I get home.

2.
When I return - you'll get the lovin' you need -
'Cause on my long, long journey - all you've been was a dream;
You're the sweetest lovin' sunshine I know -
Open your mind and let your senses roll -
When I get home.

3.
Blues have got me down, shake my head around -
Makin' it damn hard for me to see;
Everything I do, I wind up thinking only of you -
Tell me why, sweet child, this has to be;
When I get home, honey - I'll light the darkness of night-
When I get home, baby, things'll be alright;
Give me a chance to prove I need you -
Girl, you'll get the lovin' decreed you -
When I get home.
