Homeland (2010 Remaster)

Sometimes I find that the ghost from behind me won't go

You'd think by this time

You'd be gone from my mind

But it isn't so

Sometimes I hear your voice ringing clear on the radio

Hearing you tell words that I knew so well

Not so long ago

And though it's changed for us all

I know you will always be near

And though you watch from afar

I know where you are

You walk the homeland

I remember that night

Of that year when the tears wouldn't clear my eyes

I'd seen it before

Like a dream I'd ignore

It was no surprise

I tried to pretend that the madness would end and you'd realise

That all that was left was the whisper of death and your children's cries

And though it's changed for us all

I know you will always be near

And though you watch from afar

I know where you are

You walk the homeland

You slipped away like snow in a warm hand

You welcomed that warm hand

You made it too easy
