Lyrics
I'm Home

i've been gone for a very long time
for a very long time indeed
for so long
from maple trees, across to the channel sea
but now i'm home
and i can't believe the times that just ran along
but man, it's good to be home
yeah, it's good to be home
i lived upon a hilltop dressed
in a thousand shades of green,
a castle on a hill
and in the trees
a pond where birds would call their very own
but now they've flown back home
they say, it's good to be home.
and we'd all say
that every single stone that ever laid
was us in the foundations of the clay
the stars at night, the way i left my old self back behind
something i'd know when i was home
yeah, it's good to be home.
but i couldn't help
the way i felt my heart would pull away
just to think about this very same old place
familiar cash machines, teenage streets, the way the sidewalks sway
my thoughts everyday
yeah, it's good to be home.
