I'm going back home
Every waning moon,
I'm going back home
When the sun sets.
I'm going back home
But not without her;
I'm going back home
Once love has fallen asleep!
It's melting... It fades away, like
The spark that jumps out
And, very slowly,
It loses the heat of its flame!
[Chorus:]
Hey-ah hey-ah...
I was afraid of forgetting
Hey-ah hey-ah...
For us to leave with tears and, tomorrow
Hey-ah hey-ah...
We'd have a hard time remembering
Hey-ah hey-ah...
That, one day, we held each other's hands!
I'm going back home
With your war cry;
I'm going back home
Screaming your name.
I'm going back home
Dragged across the floor.
I'm going back home,
But today I'm not sleepy...
Not do I have a heart strong enough,
To sleep all alone.
So very alone, as I see that you're not there
When I pull the bed sheet!
[Chorus:]
Hey-ah hey-ah...
I was afraid of forgetting
Hey-ah hey-ah...
For us to leave with tears and, tomorrow
Hey-ah hey-ah...
We'd have a hard time remembering
Hey-ah hey-ah...
That, one day, we held each other's hands!
You know that it won't ever return:
That instalent left long ago
And we have lost what we've both been,
And we've fought for what we've left behind!
Your soft voice,
Caressing me powerfully
And my body, imprisoned
By only your luck...
[Chorus:]
Hey-ah hey-ah...
I was afraid of forgetting
Hey-ah hey-ah...
For us to leave with tears and, tomorrow
Hey-ah hey-ah...
We'd have a hard time remembering
Hey-ah hey-ah...
That, one day, we held each other's hands!
Hey-ah hey-ah... Hey-ah hey-ah...
I'm going back home
And I look behind me.
I'm going back home,
But there's no one there.
I'm going back home...
This isn't my house!
I'm going back home
If I'm not there, with you.
