I'm counting on a memory
to get me out of here
I'm waiting for the fog around
this spooky little town to clear
All this time I've spent being
someone else's friend
Just one more time
for old time's sake
I'd like to go back home again
The world had seven wonders
once upon a time
It's sure enough
the favored nations
aided their decline
And all around me
I've seen times
like it was back when
But like back then
I'd say amen
if I could get back
home again
If I could go back home
If I could go back home
If I'd never left
I'd never have known
We all dream of leaving
but wind up in the end
Spending all our time
trying to get back home again
Could'a been a jailbreak
and the spotlight hitting me
Or was that just some
nightclub singer
back in 1963
In the old park
of Valencia
on the coast of Spain
Never tiring once
of hearing songs
about going home again
If I could go back home
If I could go back home
If I'd never left
I'd never have known
We all dream of leaving
but wind up in the end
Spending all our time
trying to get back home again
If I could go back home
If I could go back home
If I'd never left
I'd never have known
We all dream of leaving
but wind up in the end
Spending all our time
trying to get back home again
