Penelope Lyrics by Bellfrog

The First, the Fool

2015

[Verse 1]
If I was your son
I'd be on my way out of here
If I was your son
I'd be on a boat to somewhere else
In a boat to somewhere else

But I'm not your son
I'd be a terrible child
I'd be proud and weak
In a boat to somewhere else
In a boat to somewhere else

[Chorus]
Will you be home in a while?
Will you be home in a while?
When can I stop waiting for you?
Will you be home in a while?

[Verse 2]
How can I go, when you
You said you'd be home just a little while?
Yet they expect me to dance
In perpetual mourning
A trance of perpetual mourning

[Chorus]
Will you be home in a while?
Will you be home in a while?
When can I stop waiting for you?
Will you be home in a while?

[Post-Chorus]
I've unpicked my loom for you
I've unpicked my loom for you
I've unpicked my loom for you
And I can't bear to be wrong

[Verse 3]
If I had the chance to take a terrible vengeance
I'd drown your boat in the midst of my anger
You'd sink in my Charybdis of anger
You'd sink in a boat to somewhere else
In a boat to somewhere else

[Chorus]
Will you be home in a while?
Will you be home in a while?
When can I stop waiting for you?
Will you be home in a while?

[Post-Chorus]
I've unpicked my loom for you
I've unpicked my loom for you
I've unpicked my loom for you
And I can't bear to be wrong
