I've been many places

I've travelled 'round the world

Always on the search for something new

But what does it matter

When all the roads I've crossed

Always seem to return to you...



Old familiar faces

Everyone you meet

Following the ways of the land

Cobblestones and lanterns

Lining every street

Calling me to come home again



Dancing in the moonlight

Singing in the rain

Oh, it's good to be back home again

Laughing in the sunlight

Running down the lane

Oh, it's good to be back home again



When you play with fire

Sometimes you get burned

It happens when you take a chance or two

But time is never wasted

When you've lived and learned

And in time it all comes back to you...



And when I got weary

I'd sit a while and rest

Memories invading my mind

All the things I'd treasured

The ones I'd loved the best

Were the things that I'd left behind....
