And a yellow coloured lamp-shade, used to keep us up all night

 And the smile upon your face, the tears upon your cheek

 And the night sky on the window

 Your heart calling out to me

Come running home again, Katie

 Come running home again

 Cross my heart and hope to die

 Shall I cause another tear from your eye

The mirror that won't talk and your night gown on the door

And the old pedal singer just don't sing no more

You can roll the reels for hours

From the movie of this book

It's a question mark on this heart of mine

Sends an elder back to look

Come running home again, Katie

Come running home again

Cross my heart and hope to die

Shall I cause another tear from your eye, Katie

Break

Now I'm looking through a tunnel

Back into the room

With the genius of a druid, when the sunlight floods the tomb

And I'm never going back there, and I couldn't anyway

'Cause though I made the great escape

I never got away

Come running home again, Katie

Come running home again

Cross my heart and hope to die

Shall I cause another tear from your eye
