Going Home

I'm going home

I've been dreaming of this day

Since before I went away

I'm going home

Put out the yellow rigging

It's a new beginning

My love, I've been away all too long

I've sailed the seven seas

But I was not content, with the five continents

The heat of Zanzibar, to the plains of Ulan Batur

Over the sea, back to my family

I'm going home, and that's how it's gonna be

And all the ghosts I've left behind

And the treasures I hoped to find

What will they think of this Prodigal son?

My love, I've been away all too long

Nothing seems to stick like hurt

When you're down in the dirt

But I believe it isn't hard to leave

This broken landscape of my dreams

Over the sea, back to my family

I'm going home, and that's how it's gonna be

Prodigal me, back to my family

I'm going home, and that's how it's gonna be

First kiss of the new morning

It keeps me yearning

No mistakes, I have been warned

The broken promises, ancestral voices

Of the probable storm

This patchwork Eden's at an end

I'm in the dark without a friend

I've sailed the seven seas

But I was not content, with the five continents

The heat of Zanzibar, to the plains of Ulan Batur

Over the sea, back to my family

I'm going home, and that's how it's gonna be

Over the sea, back to my family

I'm going home, and that's how it's gonna be

Prodigal me, back to my family

I'm going home, and that's how it's gonna be

That's how it's gonna be

I'm going home

Prodigal me

I'm going home
