lyrics

Got off the train, walked to my house
Long after everyone had all moved out
Knocked on the door, a stranger came
I held out my hand and gave my name
It meant little to him
And when I asked if I’d come in
I imagined my mother
At the top of the stairs
And the words she’d always say

Welcome home
Welcome home
Lay down your bags
Take off your coat
Welcome home
Dinner’s on the stove
Welcome home

And I woke from this dream
And it was not what it seemed
I was at home, I heard people
Just like it’d always been
I went down to the kitchen
They sitting round the tree
There was mum and dad, big sister
And babies at my feet

Welcome Home…

And just to sit there between them
And watch the children play
The more they pass, the more I savour
Each and every day
Christmas lights at the window
And it was pitch black by four
But there was little reason
To step out that door

Welcome home…
