It's really good
to see you
So long since
you've been home
You look so good life
has been good to you
But the lines on both
our faces show how
long you've been away
You lose a half a
lifetime when you
look the other way
He spends a lot
of time these days
Just like an old sleeping
lion in the chair
He's still so
strong you know it
But the work is
here and there
And he's so proud
He'd never let you know
There's so much
to talk about
But anyway it's so
good to have you home
And I liked standing
out here watching
the people all arrive
All the funny ways
that people re-unite,
they're so alive
Shrieks of joy
Tears of joy
It would do anyone's
heart the world of good
to come stand here
On random days,
and just imagine
That you hadn't seen
your own for
years and years
And then to realise
Just what you've
had all this time
Just what you've
had all this time
Every minutes
like an hour
The excitement's
hard to take
It's your loved one
that you know well
Still you think of
what you'll say
Precious memories
come flooding through
And tough ones too
When I look back now
we were so young
You were going
away and
you might never return
I sat on the floor in
front of your chair
And with an ice pop
stick you fashioned a
French roll into my hair
Well I guess that was
our way to say goodbye
And then you couldn't
make it home in time
when Rosie died
Sippin beer in the
sun she'd say
When the playful rum
would try to wash
the bitter tears away
But I liked standing
out here, watching
the people all arrive
All the funny ways
that people reunite,
they're so alive
Shrieks of joy
Tears of joy
It would do anyone's
heart the world of good
to come stand here
On random days,
and just imagine
That you hadn't seen
your own for
years and years
And then to realise
Just what you've
had all this time
Just what you've
had all this time
