Going Home
(Martyn Joseph)

It's sure good to be home again
In the land of the lover's song
Where my mother gave me to the earth
And my father taught me right from wrong

It's so good to be home again
In the palm of my lover's hand
She shields me from this world I see
In ways that I don't understand.

You know that it is so good to be home
So good to be
Standing in your company,
I can't tell you what it means to me.

And this land of jewels has beckoned me
Down through the ages past
Her children cry out from the hills
That some things always last

Don't you know that it is so good to be home
So good to be
Standing in your company
I can't tell you what it means to me.

I'm one under par through seventeen,
I've got one more hole to go
I'm going to drive it down the middle, going to wedge it to the green
I'm going to two-putt baby, pick up the dough

Don't you know that it is so good to be home
So good to be
Standing in your company
I can't tell you what it means to me.

So I'm driving down the M4
I've got the flashing lights of the Severn crossing
Spanning the Jordan, calling me home.
Well they've put the toll up since I last passed this way,
I don't know if I've got enough to pay
And I'm down to the small change in my coat
You know it doesn't look good.

One pound, two, three,
three pound ten, twenty, thirty,
forty, fifty, sixty, seventy...
I'm 10p short of the promised land.

Mr Toll man have mercy please won't you let me pass today,
He said "Son you look familiar but I can't if you won't pay".
I said "did you say pay or play my friend,
Cause here's a thought I've had."
And with the traffic stacked up to the hills
I gave it all I had

Well it took a while to raise the cash,
But here I am again,
In the land of my fathers
Can't wait to go away and come back again.

Don't you know that it is so good to be home
In the land of the lover's song
Where my mother gave me to the earth
And my father taught me right from wrong

Don't you know that it is so good to be home
So good to be
Standing in your company
I can't tell you what it means to me.
