Mark Seymour - Home Again lyrics

Surely not the place to make a movie Surely not the time to begin again But I'm heading down into The town of shadows tonight It's not paradise but I'm home again Well I'm nervous and drifting like a stranger But I've been around here many times before And these disconnected memories are in danger Losing you scares me right to the core Well the last thing you said to me cut close To the bone and I carried it inside of me Like some heavy stone Still I pray you're alone 'cause I'm home again I remember perfect open spaces I remember running just to meet you there But I see the desperation in their faces People whisper there's fear in the air Layin' low is easy there's no worries at all Still it takes a little change To make a telephone call When the writing's on the wall 'Cause I'm home again Now I've paid for all my troubles And I've risen to the top But I'm still living in the land that time forgot I'm the king who never knew when to stop But change is in the wind ready or not… There's a demolition derby in the garden They say the past doesn't matter anymore When the future is a secret closely guarded No amount of faith could ever even the score Sudden d**h is soon to be The biggest game in town The only antidote to all the grief that's Going down is knowing you are here… It keeps me around Now my feet are on the ground 'Cause I'm home again
