Lyrics

I once had a feeling connecting me to everyone
I once had a vision but lost it somewhere on the run
I once had a home in a quiet little town,
It was simple but suited me fine
and I’m not sure what happened but somehow I lost my way home.

The city seduced me with all of its sights and its sounds
The city that’s known for its magic and nights-on-the-town
But little by little the spell disappeared
and the yellow brick road turned to stone
and I longed for some comfort and knew it was time to go home

Going home, going home
It may be less exciting, but something’s inviting me home
Going home, going home
We can sit by the fire till it’s time for bed – going home.

I wondered if I could accept all the changes I’d see,
I wondered if they could accept all that’s happened to me,
I wondered if this was a massive mistake -
one that I’d be regretting for years?
Still, I took a deep breath and I took the last exit toward home

Familiar old trees have covered the road as they’ve grown
Familiar old faces, out on their porches, alone
Familiar old feelings are flooding my head,
like I suddenly stepped back in time.
It’s the Same... and it’s different, but nothing’s quite like going home

Going home, going home
It may be less exciting, but something’s inviting me home
Going home, going home
We can sit by the fire till it’s time for bed
Telling intimate tales of the living and dead;
Then we’ll all raise a toast to the good times ahead – going home.
