From the albums David Poe and Love Is Red

WON'T YOU COME DOWN
SHE SAID COME DOWN
TO MY FAMILY REUNION
COME DOWN

YOU CAN MEET MY DAD
YOU CAN SEE MY HOME
THEY ARE THE REASON
MY LOVE GETS STRONG
THE BARS I HAUNTED
BEFORE THERE WAS YOU

WON'T YOU COME DOWN
SHE SAID COME DOWN
TO MY HOLIDAY AT HOME

THIS IS THE ROOM
THERE CHAIR HE SAT IN
NOW IT'S POWDER BURN BLUE
THIS IS WHERE IT HAPPENED

THAT'S MY SISTER
AND HER HUSBAND THE BASTARD
SHE SMILES AT HIS MOUSTACHE
IT'S HIS LATEST DISASTER

MY SISTER USED TO GET HIGH
SHE USED TO MAKE A SOUND
NOW SHE'S SWEET AND LOW WHEN HE'S AROUND
BUT SHE'S HAPPY FOR ME 'CAUSE I FOUND YOU

SEE HOW THE TIME IS FROZEN COLD
IS THIS HOW WE'RE GOING TO GET WHEN WE GET OLD
I DON'T KNOW

WON'T YOU COME HOME
I DON'T WANT TO BE ALONE
AT MY FAMILY REUNION
COME HOME

IT'S JUST HOW WE LEFT IT
EVERYTHING'S IN PLACE
WHEN HE WENT AWAY
A LITTLE SHRINE WAS MADE

DID YOU SEE MY MOTHER
DID YOU SEE HER FACE
THERE ARE SOME THINGS
TIME WON'T ERASE

ASK HER IF THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE KITCHEN
THAT NEEDS TENDING TO
AND SHE'LL SAY NO UNLESS SHE LIKES YOU
BUT YOU KNOW THERE'S NOTHING ANYONE OF US COULD DO
