Home Again

Despite the land, a thousand miles

Your smile had reached an all-time low

And all the curtains drew on my old street again

I chanced upon some photographs

That told the story of our class

Of basking in the promises of future days

I didn't mean to let you know

I accidentally dialled the number

The words you heard were someone else

The circumstance, it took me under

Time and time again I tried

But all the buttons pressed were brokе

To make it through to your receivеr

I can't find the words I spoke

The northern clouds are only smoke I'm through

But any time soon

I guess I'll find a way to ride a train back home again

Outside the paper stands are blowing and I'm down

Until the silence of the engine turns to steam and then

We're home again

Stumble into folks I'd swerve

The empty seats are all reserved

And conversations limited, unpleasantly

I stare into my suitcase, hold

My cup of tea's already cold

And sad beyond the scape and disco memories

We couldn't wait til Saturday

To knock on doors and run away

And summer went beyond us all

In Banky fields we knew the answer

Only problem was the question

We didn't even need to ask

So simple in our own conception

But that was all so long ago

In a place I used to know so well

But any time soon

I guess I'll find a way to ride a train back home again

Outside the paper stands are blowing and I'm down

Until the silence of the engine turns to steam and then

We're home again
