The Ghosts Of Home Songtext / Lyric

Where I come from, no one's home

Twisted branches, overgrown

Skin deep roots over, broken bone

Dust and glass and the ghost of home



Knock at the door, no one's home

Empty rooms and shadows flown

Down these halls fading memories roam

Hand in hand with, the ghosts of home



Another new horizon

Familiar scene of childhood dislocation

Finger trace the coloured lines

Another road, another destination



You said goodbye to empty rooms

And farewell to the walls and windows

Waved to no one in particular

As the lights went out and the doors behind you close



Home again, home again






Stranger in a strange land

You walk the halls, nervous and unseen

Keep your down, don't raise your hand

Alone in the crowd, a ghost in the machine



Home again, home again



Half remembered neighbourhoods

Twisted branches and dying woods

Broken bones and childhoods

Broken homes and lost boyhoods



Summer wars in the woods

Fleeting blood brotherhoods

Hoped to run but never stood

Wished to stay but never could



What did you hope to find?

Home again, what could you find?

In doorways and window panes

In broken glass and faded frames



Can clocks turn back, the years unwind

And are you still hiding there now?

A ghost, trapped, behind those walls



So goodbye again to empty rooms

And farewell to the walls and windows

Print them once more in your memory

As the lights recede and the road behind you grows



Home again, home again
