Is it where I first appeared,
Underneath the Northern spheres?
Where I'm a stranger lineage lies,
Underneath the Northern skies,
Don't know where my old hometown is.
But Pigeon knows, Pigeon knows,
Pigeon knows.
It's wherever his tail goes,
It's wherever his tail goes.
Is it at my old folks' place?
Shopping gulls have bought out everything.
Or is it in this wild and windy town,
Where bitter lessons hit you in the face?
Don't know where my old hometown is.
But Pigeon knows, Pigeon knows,
Pigeon knows.
It's wherever his tail goes,
It's wherever his tail goes.
Is it where my friends collide?
So many places, we've all flown away.
Or is it just a dream I have at night,
My hometown stranded there
In coloured light?
Don't know where my old hometown is.
But Pigeon knows, Pigeon knows,
Pigeon knows.
It's wherever his tail goes,
It's wherever his tail goes
