walking in the shadows of mankind
drinking from the dust in the streets
living through theseasons having 1000 reasons
trying to makeends meet
flipping coins and lights in september
dancing with the leaves of july
february pavements seemto hold resentments
against me as time’s flying by
gotta get home gotta get home in december
when the lights are shining bright
gotta get back to whati remember
and then everything’s alright
tellmy mum i’m coming home in december
i have seen the eiffel tour in paris
and ihave seen the squares of new york
i been sleeping nextto towers singing songs for hours
finding comfort in being a dork
playing with the whales in the ocean
climbing on a mountain with blue eyes
and under porches and bridges i’ve learned that all theriches
are waiting for me in disguise
i want to go back i need to go back home
my friendsare waiting for me to come back home
andeverybody’s there and we have things to share
and thefamily prayer something is in the wind and iknow for sure
deep down in the core now it’s time togo
to my loved ones i need to go back home
