In the early hours, I packed up and flew to Africa
Without looking back, to roam the red ground
And still, a place at the table will be set for me at the other end of the world
And a familiar face in the frosty window will wait
That night, when an icy wind sings in the cracks of the house
There's a faded face in a photograph
You see a tiny figure at the garden gate
Walking home
Between my toes, I felt the salty sea
And I mistook every face as a dear person
And at a warm beach at night
I wonder, if my old neighborhood still looks the same
And if they still remember me
That night...
Even if you see the largest waterfall
A golden city at the bottom of it
Happiness is only real when shared
And tonight, when the icy wind sings in the cracks of the house
There's a faded face in a photograph
You see a tiny figure at the garden gate
When the curve of the smile emerges under the hood
The glow of the fire reflected in the eyes
You see a tiny figure at your door
I've come home
I've come home
Next morning I creep downstairs fast in its sleep
Silently, I set the table; humming, I sit back to wait for others
Such a restless soul I have, and a head of an adventurer
And still, the bag is left untouched this morning
