Home lyrics

When I came to this town I was not yet a man Still green from the grass I once played in A mere twenty-one years With a lot left to learn Far away from my home by the ocean A naive little boy who got caught in a trap Of too many good times and diversions Well I slipped and I fell And I lost who I was But I cannot return to my island Oh I'm lost and I'm scared And I long for my home For my family and friends on the island But I cannot return 'Till I find who I am Perhaps I'll go home when I'm sleeping. And the lightning does crash And the thunder it rolls As the storm comes across From the harbour WHere the cruise ships are tied With the big corporate Yachts But no fishging boats roll On the whitecaps So I'm watching the storm Is it calling me back I can feel it well up from inside me And it's guiding my hand With my pen or the strings And it's leading me back to my island Oh I'm lost and I'm scared And I long for my home For my family and friends on the island But it won't be long now 'Till I'm given the choice So until I can choose I'll keep going
