Words & music by Væring 1998
Weary from the walk
and thirsty from the road
happy just to talk
to sit back and unload
I've been gone now
for quite some time it's true
"honey I'm home now"
I'm here for you
I'm your ship-come-in
you're the harbour and the lights
I'm closer than your skin
you're provisions well in sight
"Honey I'm home now"
used to be an old cliché
but somehow
it's the perfect thing to say
At a time like this
in the state I'm in
I need attention
now take me in
While I was away
did you speak to me out loud
miss me every day
see my face amidst the crowd
"Honey I'm home now"
used to be an odd cliché
but somehow
it's the simplest thing to say
At a time like this
in the state I'm in
I need attention
now take me in
I have missed you well
and it's done me little good
I've been returned from hell
returned to womanhood
I've been gone now
for quite some time it's true
"honey I'm home now"
I'm here for you
And there's nowhere
that I'd rather be
"no place like home"
sounds good to me
