Home Again - Elton John

I’m counting on a memory to get me out of here

I’m waiting for the fog around this spooky little town to clear

All this time I’ve spent being someone else’s friend

Just one more time, for old time’s sake I’d like to go back home again

The world had seven wonders once upon a time

It’s sure enough the favored nations aided their decline

And all around me I’ve seen times like it was back when

But like back then, I’d say amen if I could get back home again

If I could go back home, if I could go back home

If I’d never left, I’d never have known

We all dream of leaving, but wind up in the end

Spending all our time trying to get back home again

Could have been a jailbreak and the spotlight hitting me

Or was I just some nightclub singer, back in 1963

In the old part of Valencia, on the coast of Spain

Never tiring once of hearing songs about going home again

If I could go back home, if I could go back home

If I’d never left, I’d never have known

We all dream of leaving, but wind up in the end

Spending all our time trying to get back home again
