I came homekind of unexpected
Wanted to surpise my baby so I didn't phone
I heard laughter and soft music
As I walked up the pathway to our front door

I saw curtains on the windows shadows on the curtains
Have I been away too long

At first I couldn't believe my eyes
I told myself why it's just an old friend
I'll bet they're waiting to surprise me
But wait no one knew that I was coming in

Now there's curtains on the windows shadows on the curtains
Has my baby gone wrong

I walked downtown to a pawnshop
Funny what you can buy there for just a dollar or two
Now I'm walking up our pathway
And heaven help me for what I may do

To those curtains on the windows shadows on the curtains
Have I been away too long
(There were) curtains on the windows shadows on the curtains
Has my baby gone wrong
