BETH 
(P. Criss, S. Pendridge, B. Ezrin) 


[Rhy. Fig 1] 

[Rhy. Fig 2a] 
Beth, I hear you callin', but I can't come home right now. 

[Rhy. Fig 3a] 
Me and the boys are playin', and we just can't find the sound. 

[Rhy. Fig 4a] 
Just a few more hours, and I'll be right home to you. 
I think I hear them callin'. 
oh Beth, what can I do? 

Beth, what  can I do? 

[Rhy. Fig 2a] 
You say you feel so empty, that our house just ain't a home. 

[Rhy. Fig 3b] 
I'm always somewhere else, and you're always there alone. 

[Rhy. Fig 4b] 
Just a few more hours, and I'll be right home to you. 
I think I hear them callin'. 
Oh Beth, what can I do? 

[rhy. Fig 5] 

[Rhy. Fig 2b] 
Beth, I know you're lonely, 
and I hope you'll be all right. 
Cause me and the boys will be playin' all nite 

[Rhy. Fig 6]
