It was the summer of my discontent
It was the ball of a lifetime
It was the winter of my absence
Waiting on the springtime
Well, there was dark sackcloth and ashes
For a couple-a years
I took my licks and my hundred lashes
I cried a bundle of tears
Well, that distant shore's forever out of reach
Before you know it, you're washed up on the beach
And yet, you're welcome back
It was a pretty dark day
And now the sun is shining, welcome back
I'll just zoom on my way
Well, I was bent, but I was not broken
I was sinking, but I could not drown
I was reeling, but I was still hoping
I could be lost and found
Well, I was temporarily disconnected
In my state of disrepair
Disoriented and dejected
I had to climb out of there
Well, that distant shore's forever out of reach
Before you know it, you're washed up on the beach
And then, you're welcome back
It was a pretty dark day
And now the sun is shining, welcome back
I'll just zoom on my way
Move on landward, [? ] bound
'Til you land on solid ground
INSTRUMENTAL
Welcome back
It was a pretty dark day
And now the sun is shining, welcome back
I'll just zoom on my way
Now everybody sing, 'Welcome back'
It was a pretty dark day
Hard times in Babylon, welcome back
I'll just zoom on my way
Welcome back
Welcome back
Welcome back
Welcome back
