Camel Please Come Home Lyrics

Please Come Home Lyrics

The 29th monsoon had finally dried when a distant buzzing sent 
Nude scrambling for cover. A tiny plane dipped and swerved, 
filled the air with swirling white and disappeared. 
He cautiously approached one of the scattered pices of 
paper: 
 
We`ve been writing letters each day 
hoping that you`ll come home. 
And we`re wondering if you`re okay. 
As you`re not on the phone. 
 
Face the facts now 
Take a chance. 
Come on back now. 
Fast. 
 
Please come home, 
Please come home. 
Everyone cares for you. 
Please come home, 
Please come home. 
Everyone cares for you, 
Everyone. 
 
We`ve been writing letters each day. 
Hoping, 
that you`ll... 
come home. 
 
As the sky turned to afternoon gold, Nude picked up the rest of 
the envelopes and carried then carefully up the mountain. 
For a long time afterwards he sat rocking gently. The letters 
fluttered...the war was over. Long ago. But it seemed of 
little consequence to Nude. For him, it had never started. 
 
In the days that followed, Nude was no longer at one with his 
environment. He was now burdened with the need to explain 
what could not be explained to those who would never 
understand. 
With the air heavy and his instincts dulled by the 
preoccupation of his thoughts, he failed to heed the warning 
silence of a normally busy afternoon. With a gasp and a grunt he 
was wrestled to the ground. A sting in his skin and he was 
released. He reeled around to stare into the eyes of familiar 
uniformed figures. The sudden weight of his head plunged him 
face down into sand denying him protest or the right of a 
farewell glance at his island...
