I’m Coming Home Tonight (written by Benjamin Orr and John Kalishes, ©1993*)
You think it’s easy walking on air
And you think I’m crazy; hell, what do I care?
‘Cause I’ve got news for you, dear
Yeah I’ve got news for you
I wrote you a letter I forgot to mail
And I tried to call you but the telephones failed
And I said I’d fax you, or maybe email
A telegram’s another plan, or on a pigeon’s tail
I’ve thought it over once or twice
Yeah, I’ve thought it over once or twice… and it’s the least I can do
I’m coming home tonight, dear… I’m coming home tonight
‘Cause I’ve got news for you, dear
Yeah, I’ve got news for you
I’m coming home tonight, dear… I’m coming home tonight
I’m coming home tonight, dear… I’m coming home tonight
I sent you a message in a sake bottle
It crashed on the rocks and shattered something awful
And I’ve thought it over once or twice
Yeah, I’ve thought it over once or twice… yeah it’s the least I can do
I’m coming home tonight, dear… I’m coming home tonight
I’m coming home tonight, dear… I’m coming home tonight
I’m coming home tonight, dear… I’m coming home tonight

Wow they should have released this as a single. I think it could have been a hit. I could easily see it getting play on my local rock station at the time. Had just the right hard rock pop vibe to fit in with Collective Soul, Foo Fighters, etc that was popular at the time.
