lyrics
I said my goodbyes as I packed up my home,
I’ll drink from the tap at the watering hole.
I waited for someone but nobody came,
Nobody to follow and no one to blame.
(I'll come home)
You left in a hurry still waiting to see
If the business of hurrying ever moves me.
I know that this city means nothing to you,
But I cannot say it’s the same for me too.
(I'll come home)
I’ve pushed and shoved
And I’ve never learned a damn thing from love,
Yet as I gaze out at the skies above
I know that you’re waiting for me.
Against your best wishes, I set out alone,
In search of the wealth to be found on the road.
I promised I'd send ‘least a letter or two,
Cos I know sometimes I give nothing to you.
You were born by the waters in the north,
Tamed by cold winds of the world spilling forth,
And you'd wait but a lifetime for me.
I’ve pushed and shoved
And I’ve never learned a damn thing from love,
But as I gaze out at the skies above,
I know that you’re waiting for me.
I set out on this goose-chase searching for gold,
I was never one to do much that I'm told.
I’ll drink from the tap at the watering hole.
I waited for someone but nobody came,
Nobody to follow and no one to blame.
(I'll come home)
You left in a hurry still waiting to see
If the business of hurrying ever moves me.
I know that this city means nothing to you,
But I cannot say it’s the same for me too.
(I'll come home)
I’ve pushed and shoved
And I’ve never learned a damn thing from love,
Yet as I gaze out at the skies above
I know that you’re waiting for me.
Against your best wishes, I set out alone,
In search of the wealth to be found on the road.
I promised I'd send ‘least a letter or two,
Cos I know sometimes I give nothing to you.
You were born by the waters in the north,
Tamed by cold winds of the world spilling forth,
And you'd wait but a lifetime for me.
I’ve pushed and shoved
And I’ve never learned a damn thing from love,
But as I gaze out at the skies above,
I know that you’re waiting for me.
I set out on this goose-chase searching for gold,
I was never one to do much that I'm told.

I've loved this EP since the minute I heard it a few years back. I don't know how I found it but I'm glad I did. It is amazing.
