I'm Going Home - Chris De Burgh

I left my home by the ocean

I left my love by the sea

Dreaming I could sing my songs in the city…

I thought the streets of London

Would be paved with gold

But the only gold was in the setting sun

And these city nights are so cold

And you know that feeling when you’ve been too long

And you wanna go home and it’s so strong

I’m going home, I’m going home

Oh the leaves are falling and the wind is calling

And I must get on the road

You’ll be alone, you’ll be alone

But if you’re crying to the rhythm of the falling rain

It’s alright, I’m on my way, I’m going home

I’m going home, yea…

Jilly she’s got a smile in her eye

And a bed just right for two

Silly how much I love her, but I do

Sunny days will be here again

She whispered in my ear

Oh Lord it’s funny how much I’ve missed the country rain

That’s a sound I love to hear…

And I know that feeling and I’ve been too long

And I wanna go home and it’s so strong

I’m going home, I’m going home

Oh the leaves are falling and the wind is calling

And I must get on the road

You’ll be alone, you’ll be alone

But if you’re crying to the rhythm of the falling rain

It’s alright, I’m on the way, I’m going home

I’m going home, yea…

Oh hold on darling, I’m going home

I’m on the way, I’m going home

I’m going home, Hold on darling…
