Oh heart of mine why must you stray?
From One so fair you run away
And one more time you have to pay
The heaviness of needless shame

Oh heart of mine come back home
You've been too long out on your own
And He's been there all along
Watching for you down the road

So come home running
His arms are open wide
His name is Jesus and He understands
He is the answer you are looking for
So come home running just as you are

Oh child of God so dearly loved
And ransomed by the saviour's blood
Called by name, daughter and son
Wrapped in the robe of righteousness

So come home running
His arms are open wide
His name is Jesus and He understands
He is the answer you are looking for
So come home running just as you are

So come home running
His arms are open wide
His name is Jesus and He understands
He is the answer you are looking for
So come home running just as you are

Just as you are

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
