ahhh, homesickness

[maribou]

I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised by this one, since my mom only just left a few days ago.
Got a CD in the mail today that was sent to me a month ago. The singer grew up in the same places I did. I'm not sure if that's why he manages to evoke such precise place images in my head, or if it's merely a result of my mom's visit.


Home
(Nathan Wiley)

When I was a boy, I had everything
I had silver and gold
I sailed ships with the cowboys
And I'd never grow old
And my father was strong
And my mother was young
Fell asleep in the backseat
Till we got home

Pick me up, take me back
Where I belong
Cause I don't know
Anymore
I wanna go home

And the sea was my country
And the fields my den
And I'd sail a thousand ships
To get back again
Tell me when did I grow old
Tell me where can I go
Run in the tall grass
Lay in the snow

Pick me up, take me back
Where I belong
Cause I don't know
Anymore
I wanna go home

Where are the railroad tracks
Where are the summers I used to know
When I was a boy, I had everything
I had silver and gold
