And when I'd reached my destination

Em D

I thought someday I might return

Em D

Cause deep inside was the need

Em D

to feel the home fires burn

Em D

But a faltering voice merely whispered my name

Em D

as if we'd never expected to hear it again,

Em D

and my heart grew cold to that indifferent sound

Em D Em D

as I slowly laid the receiver down

Em D C

Don't burn the fires,

Don't burn the fires

I'm never coming home

(+SOLO)

Em D C

Don't burn the fires,

Don't burn the fires

I'm never coming home!
