Sometimes late at night I hear the wind blow

Feel that old north-eastern through my bones

Then I think of lazy days an lying there with you in Sennen Cove

I still recall the day that I departed

Set my feet upon those foreign lands

Searching for a thing that even now I find so hard to understand       

 

Someone said the answer is a question

Another that the keyhole has no key

And every time I asked they said “you’re looking for the things you cannot see”

I saw sages, heard the words of many

But none of them brought comfort to my mind

Seems I only find another question, all the answers I can’t find

 

Well I was there before and I’m going back

It’s time to return to where I was at

It’s time to go home, it’s time to be free, it’s time now for me

 

Loneliness is always round the corner

Neon lights the highway everywhere

City girls don’t satisfy the feelings in my body any more.

Many are the lands that I have travelled

An I’ve been down a thousand roads or more

But something says it’s time to leave and feel that southern breeze upon the shore

 

Yes I was there before and I’m going back

It’s time to return, to where I was at

It’s time to go home, it’s time to be free, it’s time now for me

 

Yes I was there before and I’m going back

It’s time to return, to where I was at

It’s time to go home, it’s time to be free, it’s time now for me
