Phil Gawen - Homebound Lyrics

My wife and I, we left the kids at home
My fear of flying, was more than she could handle
Soon, we lift off from the ground
Sounds of prayer heavenbound
Through the clouds into the sun
Like love in motion

Soon to meet this Paris, France
Italy and Englishman
As we plunge into a foreign place
Of strange indifference

I'm much too tired, so I have coffee
Everywhere I go, I'm hooked on pills
I'll stay awake 'till I am homebound
So much to see. If I were alone
I'd have a better time than this, you bet
In every place she's calling homebound

And we are tourists
And we act like tourists
We're looking for the best place
For a photo with our face
And it all seems to go
Way too fast

I'm always running out of time
And I forget what I wanted to do
In a place where you can dream up
Anything you can do
I'm missing out on miles and miles

Soon we lift off from the ground
Echoes In my head go round
Down we go to hear the sound of Belgian noise
Then to see an opera, in Germany or Austria
My sense of time, I can't recall

'Don't think I ever want to go back home
Everywhere I go

I'm soon out of cash
But I really couldn't care now
I'm going over pictures

And it always seems to go way too fast
I'm always running out of time
And I forget what I wanted to do
In a place where you can see the world
For what it is
I'm missing out on miles and miles

Soon, we lift off from the ground
Flying back to our hometown
In a day and a night, we will touch down
Down, down

Fear of flying good as gone
Wife complains, it's been too long
As I close my eyes to a sad song
