[Verse 1: Martin L. Gore, Hildia Campbell & Samantha Smith]
Well I'm knocking on Death's door
Will I take my rest, among the blessed?
Mother, are you waiting? Father, are you pacing?
I'm coming home

[Verse 2: Martin L. Gore, Hildia Campbell & Samantha Smith]
I'm knocking on Death's door
Come to take my rest, in my Sunday best
Mother, are you anxious? Father, are you gracious?
I'm coming home

[Bridge: Martin L. Gore]
I've been away so long
For so long you've been strong
I've been away so long
I know that it was wrong
But I'm coming home

[Verse 3: Martin L. Gore, Hildia Campbell & Samantha Smith]
Well I'm knocking on Death's door
Will I take my rest, have I passed the test?
Mother, are you praying? Father, I am saying
I'm coming home

[Outro: Martin L. Gore]
"Thank you"
