When You Get Home (Solo Live)

from The Mother Back To Strong Down by Gavin Burgess

/

about

Strong:
Three songs from an acoustic solo performance at Blue Note in 2002. The lead guitar on Ancient Love was added later at Sasquatch. Darker is a track from an already written but as yet unrealised album project of the same name. Those with keen ears will be able to discern the background conversation between myself and a very drunk member of the audience who was determined to join me on stage.

lyrics

Saw an old man in his rocking chair
Sitting on his front porch on his own.
Sun goin down on this grey old town
Sitting on his front porch on his own - on his own - he said

Baby, when you get home
You're gonna find me waiting at the door
And baby, when you get home
I'm gonna show you what I've been waiting here for.

His old photos show a pretty face
Fell from his hands like he fell from grace
He always hoped and prayed that she'd be back some day
He's still sitting on his front porch all alone - all alone - he says

Baby, when you get home
You're gonna find me waiting at the door
And baby, when you get home
I'm gonna show you what I've been waiting here for.

Oh - she walked away so many years ago and she felt nothing for him then
And no-one ever thought to let him know that she passed away in 1997

Baby, when you get home
You're gonna find me waiting at the door
And baby, when you get home
I'm gonna show you what I've been waiting here for.

Baby, when you get home
You're gonna find me waiting at the door
And baby, when you get home
I'm gonna show you what I've been waiting here for.
