Home Away from Home |
I didn’t sleep at all last night, |
I stayed up 'til the dawn, |
Banging out the jigs and reels 'til everyone had gone, |
Singing some old shut-eyed songs I hadn’t sung for years, |
Knocking back the brandy and the beer. |
Back across the ocean to my home away from home |
I’m Glad to be returning but sad to have to go |
I’d like to find a way to be two places at one time |
It’s easy going back again but it’s hard to say goodbye |
I had one bag too many just as I was set to leave |
I was loaded down with bacon and with sausages and tea |
And I couldn’t find my ticket as I’m walking out the door |
'Til I emptied all my bags out on the floor. |
Back across the ocean to my home away from home |
I’m Glad to be returning but sad to have to go |
I’d like to find a way to be two places at one time |
It’s easy going back again but it’s hard to say goodbye |
On board the plane I sip a drink while waiting for the meal, |
Just trying not to let my head know how my stomach feels. |
There’s a baby right behind me making sure that I won’t sleep |
And the flight’s too full to find another seat. |
Back across the ocean to my home away from home |
I’m Glad to be returning but sad to have to go |
I’d like to find a way to be two places at one time |
It’s easy going back again but it’s hard to say goodbye |
I fell asleep at last just as the plane is touching down |
And I age ten years just waiting for the bags to come around |
And I make it home at last and I’m barely un-packed when |
I’m already making plans to go again. |
Back across the ocean to my home away from home |
I’m Glad to be returning but sad to have to go |
I’d like to find a way to be two places at one time |
It’s easy going back again but it’s hard to say goodbye |
Back across the ocean to my home away from home |
I’m Glad to be returning but sad to have to go |
I’d like to find a way to be two places at one time |
It’s easy going back again but it’s hard to say goodbye |
