Across this proud and ancient bridge
By the waters running clear
A house is stood all part of it
For near two hundred years

On each return I walk the road
A green-way path I trace
I'm here, I'm always strangely drawn
Towards this humble place

I climb the steep and narrow steps
Unlock the door from where I lived

Whenever I'm home
I'm glad to be back once again
Whenever I go
I will miss you here, my friend

Inside all newly painted walls
The ceiling, bent and drawn
A high back chair, an old stone floor
Uneven now and worn

There's a jar of roses brightly set
Across the window rail
Barring fragrance through the kitchen door
There's a calmness does prevail

For the air is cool and strangely still
And a welcome voice within I feel

Whenever I'm home
I'm glad to be back once again
Whenever I go
I will miss you here, my friend
I will miss you here, my friend

There's a marble frame across the fire
A clock that chimes farewell
A weathered warning sounds each day
But now just faintly tells

Outside the sun shines through the glass
It stains each resting soul
Contented eyes, they sleep inside
As the embers gently glow

For the air is warm and strangely still
And a welcome voice within I feel

Whenever I'm home
I'm glad to be back once again
Whenever I go
I will miss you here, my friend
Whenever I'm home
I'm glad to be back once again
Whenever I go
I will miss you here, my friend
I will miss you here, my friend
