[Verse 1]
When the days get shorter
And the sky begins to pale
When the winds are howling
Down the high-walled cobbled lane
I write my name
In the sycamore leaves
Sign it with a kiss

[Chorus]
I'm coming home soon
The blue moon after next

[Verse 2]
When the night is hollow
And shadows crowd the lawn
When the doors are bolted
And the curtains are all drawn
You hear my voice
In the creaking floorboards
And hold your troubled head

[Chorus]
I'm coming home soon
The blue moon after next
[Bridge]
I am the thing
That stands outside your bedroom door and whispers through the keyhole
The hand that knocks
The face you pretend you can't see outside the upstairs window
If I am not welcome you can tell me
I'll disappear like mist

[Chorus]
I'm coming home soon
I'm coming home soon
The blue moon after next
