The Homecoming
As I walk down the road
It welcomes me
Familiar smells fill the air
I hear my mother say to me
Welcome home
It’s been so long, my dear
How much has changed
Since the last I was here
And so much has stayed the same
The church on the hill
And the birds in the sky
Whisper days
That are now gone by
Many suns that have shone
Since the last I was home
Many moons that have lit the night sky
But now I know that I’ve come
For the one that I love
And forever we’ll live side by side
How I’ve missed this Fair Isle
And it’s blue shining sea
And the emerald green hills that are home
I hear see my true love
With arms out for me
Welcome home
It’s been so long my dear
Many suns that have shone
Since the last I was home
Many moons that have lit the night sky
But now I know that I’ve come
For the one that I love
And forever we’ll live side by side
