lyrics

It's not the leaving, it's the coming back again
It's not the buildings, it's the homes we made in them
And I thought that I'd be coming back to nothing but the same
If I'd know what I'd be found to lack, I would have stayed away

My father he once held me in the crook of his arm
Saying 'here little darling you won't come to any harm'

I left a city that did not care for me
I long to feel my feet on familiar fields of green
But now every leaf on every tree has grown itself anew
And two hundred days have cleared away any trace of you

My father he once held me in the crook of his arm
Saying 'here little darling you won't come to any harm'

He could not keep me form the ways of this world
He could not keep me from sharpened tongues and cruel words
And how you don't get rich by playing nice
And how you have yourself to blame if you're made the fool twice

But he once held me in the crook of his arm
Saying 'here little darling you won't come to any harm'
And it's true I feel older now it's summer once again
But I feel no stronger now than I did then

Oh my love where do you lie
Oh my love where do you lie
Oh my love where do you lie this night?
