Great Return - Tim Finn

I got lost, I went far away

From my friends and my kin

When they saw me, the sellers of lies

Could hardly wait to begin.

Then you stared at me with your unblinking eyes

And I made a great return

You welcomed me back with your unblinking eyes

I made a great return.

In my ancestral memory

Everybody’s still there

But I forgot where it all started from

And I acted like I didn’t care.

Then you stared at me with your unblinking eyes

And I made a great return

I finally learned you can’t sever the ties

I made a great return.

In the garden of earthly delights

I was tempted to roam

Like Odysseus you brought me back

To the one place I want to call home.

Then you stared at me with your unblinking eyes

I made a great return

A moment of stillness then what a surprise

I made a great return

I made a great return.
