about

When a young girl runs away in search of her dream, her parents can do nothing more than pray for her return. Cathy please come home.

lyrics

That girl she ran away all because of a dream
She imagined her new life living in complete luxury
Her folks thought she'd be coming home
They thought she'd not last a week
She only went searching for life we all seek

She was convinced the only answer was to leave town
Her misspent youth looking at her dear mother's frown
So one day she just upped and left
The alternative would be bleak
She only went searching for a life we all seek

Oh Cathy darling won't you please come home
Your father trawls the streets whilst your mother sits at home alone
Cathy please come home
Cathy please come home
Please come home
Cathy please come home, home, home

She met a met that promised the world and some more
She was taken in by his charm and the fact she was poor
They said they'd buy a house someday
They put away money each week
She only went searching for a life we all seek

Oh Cathy darling won't you please come home
Your father trawls the streets whilst your mother sits at home alone
Cathy please come home
Cathy please come home
Please come home
Cathy please come home, home, home
