[Verse 1] Im countin on a memory to get me outta here Im waitin for the fog around this spooky little town to clear All this time Ive spent bein someone elses friend Just one more time, for old times sake, Id like to go back home again [Verse 2] The world had seven wonders once upon a time Its sure enough the favoured nations aided their decline And all around me, Ive seen times like it was back when But like back then, Id say amen if I could get back home again [Chorus] If I could go back home, if I could go back home If Id never left, Id never have known We all dream of leavin, but wind up in the end Spendin all our time tryin to get back home again [Verse 3] Couldve been a jailbreak and the spotlight hittin me Or was I just some nightclub singer, back in 1963 In the old part of Valencia on the coast of Spain Never tirin once of hearin songs about goin home again [Chorus] If I could go back home, if I could go back home If Id never left, Id never have known We all dream of leavin, but wind up in the end Spendin all our time tryin to get back home again [Chorus] If I could go back home, if I could go back home If Id never left, Id never have known We all dream of leavin, but wind up in the end Spendin all our time tryin to get back home again
