Lyrics

You were just asking,
Do I miss my city life?
Oh I don't know,
it comes and it goes,
with the swinging of the tides.
Sometimes, sometimes,
but you know I spent my city nights
missing home, missing home.

And of course,
I miss the faces,
familiar strangers
with unknown names.
With a drink and a minute,
I'll conjure nostalgia
for the bars and the streets
and the trains,
and the change, so much change,
but you know I spent my city days
missing home, missing home.

I read a strange story
about some poor man
who grew up all over
but never found land.
He knew every language
but none of them well,
and that sounds to me
like the loneliest form of hell

You might get antsy
with the quiet and the space.
The pace is slow
and oh I know
I've exited the race,
leaving barely a trace
But you know I spent my city days
missing home,
Oh you know I spent my city nights
missing home
