Where I come from, no one's home Twisted branches overgrown Skin deep roots over broken bone Dust and glass and the ghosts of home Knock at the door, no one's home Empty rooms and shadows flown Down these halls fading memories roam Hand and hand with the ghosts of home Another new horizon Familiar scene of childhood dislocation Fingers traced the colored lines Another road, another destination You said goodbye to empty rooms And farewell to the walls and windows Waved to no one in particular As the lights went out and the doors behind you closed Home again, home again Stranger in a strange land You walk the halls nervous and unseen Keep your head down don't raise your hand Alone in the crowd, a ghost in the machine Home again, home again Half remembered neighborhoods Twisted branches in dying woods Broken bones and childhoods Broken homes in lost boyhoods Summer wars in the woods Fleeting blood brotherhoods Hoped to run but never stood Wished to stay but never could What did you hope to find Home again, what could you find? In doorways and window panes, in broken glass and faded frames Can clocks turn back, the years unwind Are you still hiding there now A ghost, trapped behind those walls? So goodbye again to empty rooms And farewell to walls and windows Print them once more in your memory As the lights recede and the road behind you grows Home again, home again
