I'm Coming Home Again - Carmen McRae

I’m not as crazy as I used to be Some of my devils upped and left me free

To find a quiet space

I’m not as out of place

I’m not as lonely as I was before

I don’t go in 'less there’s an open door to leave by

I’m starting to believe my own existence has a right to be And I’m comin' home again

It’s been too long a time

Gettin' back what’s mine

And I can’t remember why I went away

But it’s lookin' now like maybe I can stay

The poets cried for dreams they never saw

The only certainty is nothin’s sure

And most things stay the same

Or go back where they came

And though my answers still are undefined

By takin' chances I can start to find some reasons

Somethin' to believe in I can make it through

I can make it through

And I’m comin' home again

It’s been too long a time

Gettin' back what’s mine

And I can’t remember why I went away

But it’s lookin' now like maybe I can stay

Oh, and I’m comin' home again

It’s been too long a time

Gettin' back what’s mine

And I can’t remember why I went away

But it’s lookin' now like maybe I can stay
