The Exile Songtext

von John Tams

Cold thoughts across the river
Morning snatches at the sky
The question never changes - did I have to say goodbye?
But I'll never go back, I'll never go home
I'll never go back, I'll never go home again

Home takes a lot of leaving
It takes a lot to stay away
And it's just myself that I deceive
That I'll go back some day
But I'll never go back, I'll never go home
I'll never go back, I'll never go home again

It would not take one hundred reasons
To get me back where I belong
But as the seasons slowly spin
It makes me think I've been away too long
But I'll never go back, I'll never go home
I'll never go back, I'll never go home again

If I could have the eagle's favour
I'd fly back home to take my rest
Away from Babel's shining towers
Back to the place I love the best
But I'll never go back, I'll never go home
I'll never go back, I'll never go home again
