Track 4 on the EP

lyrics

Welcome home. Though I've never before seen from where I was born,
and the island that gave me my smile.
Don't be long, though you'll have lots of fun and you'll meet more than one who will treat you as good as you are.
And all with a joke and a drink and a voice you could listen to hour after hour.
There's that boy. And he's joining me in, and he's leading the way,
as he shows me a day in his world.
There's so much to see and so much to believe,
you go on there, don't wait up for me.
He showed me around and he walked next to me,
and he made sure he walked on the side of the sea,
and he started to laugh when I made fun of him.
And he listened to me like I listened to him.
We sit down, and we talk and we talk, and he knows what I mean,
and he listens and tells me the same.
I'm amazed, like I was when I heard how he played the first chord, I could listen again and again.
The fire's gone out and there's smoke in my eyes,
but just play me the one song again.
And he showed me around and he walked next to me,
and he made sure he walked on the side of the sea,
and he started to laugh when I made fun of him.
It turned cold, and we'd finished the song at the start of the day,
I'd kept him awake for too long.
Then she came, and he turned his head, he looked her way,
with nothing more to say.
Then she came.
That was the end, but as I travelled home,
I'll never forget how he sang me that song,
he welcomed me in, he went out of his way,
and he made me a part of his day.
He showed me around and he walked next to me,
and he made sure he walked on the side of the sea,
and he started to laugh when I made fun of him.
And he listened to me, he listened to me.
And he showed me around and he walked next to me,
and he made sure he walked on the side of the sea,
and he started to laugh when I made fun of him.
And he listened to me like I listened to him.
