My house smells of apples - scent of baking in the air....
Story behind the song
Because my darling I miss you
When will you turn the key?
How I wish you were
Coming home to me
Lyrics
Coming Home to Me

There’s linen in the basket
It’s been blowing in the wind
I was glad to feel
The cool air on my skin
My house smells of apples
Scent of baking in the air
Then I thought Id read my book
But I can’t find it anywhere
And the sweet aroma of you
Lingers on the eiderdown
And the memories of making love
Sends tingles down my spine
But that’s no use to me
When I long to have you here
So I find some other task to do
To keep away the tears
Because my darling I miss you
When will you turn the key?
How I wish you were
Coming home to me
I found that book- I thought you took
Waiting for the phone to ring
I watch the clock
But it only says tock
And the cuckoo never sings
The sun descends to the earth
I’m descending in my heart
Like the embers of the fire in the hearth
Because my darling I miss you
When will you turn the key?
How I wish you were
Coming home to me
I fold away the laundry
And then sleep is another chore
But I long to dream about you
You are all that I adore
We are walking in the rain
We are eating apple tarts
And I’m dreaming
I’m forever in your arms
Because my darling I miss you
When will you turn the key?
How I wish you were
Coming home to me
Because my darling I miss you
When will you turn the key?
How I wish you were
Coming home to me
