With apologies to Lerner and Lane
on finding Russell...



COME BACK TO ME (Insert your name)


Hear my voice where you are
Take a train, steal a car,
Hop a freight, grab a star, come back to me.
Catch a plane, catch a breeze,
On your hands, on your knees,
Swim or fly, only please, come back to me!

On a mule, in a jet.
With a kid or a pet
In a towel wringing wet -
I don't care, this is where you should be!

From the hills, from the shore,
Ride the wind to my door.
Turn the highway to dust,
Break the law if you must,
Move the world, only just come back to me!

Blast your hide, hear me call.
Must I fight City Hall?
Here and now, damn it all, come back to me!
What on Earth must I do?
Scream and yell till I'm blue?
Curse your soul when will you come back to me?

Have you gone to the moon or the corner saloon,
And to rack, and to "roon?"
Master Crowe, where in Hell can you be?

In a crate, in a trunk,
On a horse, on a drunk,
In a Rolls or a van...
Wrapped in fleece or Saran...
Any way that you can come back to me!
Come back to me!
Come back to me!


Hear my voice through the dim.
Feel  the waves on your skin.
Like a call from within, come back to me!
Leave behind all you own.
Tell your flowers you will phone.
Let your dog walk alone, come back to me!

Let your tub overflow.
If Keith waits down below
Let him wait for Godot!
Ride a rail,
Come by mail, COD!

Hang a sign on your door
Out to lunch ever more.
Don't get stuck on a set
Or get signed by the Mets
Don't give up cigarettes, come back to me!
Come back to me!
Come back -
