move in circles from the day that we begin
We wait around till we run aground
before it all comes back again
He was a husband and
a father just the same
When his country went to war,
he knew they'd draw his name
Told them he was crazy,
but they would not let him be
They sent him off as a wandering
hero lost in an unknown sea
He was fighting until nightfall,
waiting for the day
That peace would come back and
he could get back home again
Washed upon a new land,
feeling like an old man
He wasn't getting any younger,
man, he wants to get back home again
Twenty years is a long time when
you want to be someplace else
I see his name in everyone
just like I see myself
Seven years with
Calypso, immortality for love
And I stared at the constellations wishing
for the girl I was dreaming of
Summertime's I've stood
underneath the
Fairjoint sign
Even old
Odysseus got bored from time to time
Digging in my belfold,
counting out the spare change
Gotta take a greyhound so I
can get back home again
Spend the night with strangers,
lookin' for my friends
Better keep on lookin' till I
get back home again
Old times always stay the same
and brand new days are strange
But you never lose yourself and all
you do is change
Alright
All our days are short next to the rings around the tree
But trouble like the cyclops
keeps one great big eye on me
I won't run out of courage and I
won't give up the game
Cause everybody's watching
you and nobody is your name
Stuck inside a mouse hole,
runnin' out of hope
You better keep on diggin' until
you get back home again
You're makin' through the worst pains,
callin' out the
God's names
They'll stick beside you until you get back home again
Thank you for
