Lyrics

Seven years staring out at the dock
Tied to this place like an ancient rock
Breeze off the sea and I long to be gone
And I wish I was on my way
I have waited so long to be free
Feel the weight of the wave that is tugging me
The years and the tears and the rights and the wrongs
And I wish I was on my way

Coming home, I've waited a long long time
To be where I should be
Finally dividing what was mine from what they made of me
Whoah, a place of my own
Gonna see if it's like they say -
There's no place like home

Five o'clock walking out in the rain
Peering out of the doors of suburban trains
Tower blocks on the river and lights on the hill
And I wish I was on my way

Coming home, I've waited a long long time
To be where I should be
Finally dividing what was mine from what they made of me
Whoah, a place of my own
Gonna see if it's like they say -
There's no place like home

And there was hope in my every breath
With the wind at my back and the road ahead
And I wouldn't be here if I'd never known
The love that draws me home

All my life flashes by like a dream
And I watch it without knowing what it means
The bliss of my ignorance led me astray
And I wish I was on my way
Will I suddenly feel out of place
Thousands of miles from the sea and the spray
I don't care what they think, I don't care what they say
I just wish I was on my way
