Candlebox – He Calls Home Lyrics

Alternative

I see him everyday
In that blanket that he calls home
I wonder does he know
That his family they're left alone
He says brother can you spare
Can you spare a dime
See I'm down to my last dollar
And this life of mine
Said this life of mine
It gets rough at times
And I wonder does he know
Does he even care
That his family's safe at home and they wonder where
As he wanders through his life ever searchin' for
A warm blanket on warm fields and he wanders on
And I wonder is he safe from the cold
Well I see he left the other day
Took his blanket that he called home
I wonder did he go for good
Or did he pass away
Well I wonder does he know
Now I'm down to my last dollar
And this life of mine
It gets rough at times
It gets rough at times
And I wonder does he know
Does he even care
That times
It gets rough at times
And I wonder does he know
Does he even care
That my family's safe at home
And I wonder where
As I wander through my life
Ever searchin' for
My warm blanket on fields as I wander on
And I wonder
Will I always be helped along I said I
I'll never know
Because I
I'll never go and yes, I
I wonder why
Because I
I'll never go home
I'll never come home
Oh won't you let me come home

    what exactly does 'home' mean for the songwriter...anybody? Sounds to me that this person is able to relate, by running into a similiar situation, later on in life. However, if you were to be at "home" things would be better. For me, i've always loved this song because i can relate to it in my own way...of course, but i've always wondered what the true meaning was. Why is he so confused w/ going back home, what happened?
