"Come Back Alive" lyrics

Call me back darlin'
When you hear me call your name
If I don't hear you
I'll think somebody came
If I can't find you
I'll wait on down the hill
And if you don't find me
I'll think you been killed
And if you don't find me
I'll run on down the road
Find me the Sheriff
Tell him what I know
Find me the Preacher and
Pray for your soul

No safe place child
No safe place child
No safe place child
No safe place child
We don't know why
We don't know why
Come back my baby
Come back alive

Dogs go out searching
Men walk the land
I hold your bible
Tight in my hand
Cry every morning
Cry every night
'Cause I know for certain
Something ain't right
When you'd been sleeping
Candle burned low
Devil came calling
And I didn't know

No safe place child
No safe place child
No safe place child
No safe place child
We don't know why
We don't know why
Come back my baby
Come back alive

Six cold months later
Cried all my tears
Had my suspicions
Had all my fears
Six cold months later
Something still wrong
Planted the seed corn
Nothing will grow
Six cold months later
What do I see
Fog in the distance
Eyes stare at me
Fall to my knees
And I call out your name
Call me back darlin'
Call me back darlin'
Call me back darlin'
You ain't the same

No safe place child
No safe place child
No safe place child
No safe place child
We don't know why
We don't know why
Come back my baby
Come back alive

No safe place child
No safe place child
No safe place child
No safe place child
We don't know why
We don't know why
Come back my baby
Come back alive
