Tom Robson - Too Close to Home Lyrics

If I were a traveler
And if time was like a wheel
I'd roll back the nights and days and into the past I'd steal
Buckled up in memories
I try to think of what's been said
As I ride that train of thoughts that clatter thru my head
I wish I could because I'm so close to the truth
But I'm a little too close to home

If I needed adventure
I'd go back where I once belonged
In search of hidden treasure
I'd see who's right and who was wronged
Like fortune's soldier
Fightin' battles in my mind
I try to find some meaning
In things I thought I'd left behind, so close to home

If I could ever find the key
I'd leave the baggage by the door
And I'd at last be, I'd at last be free
I would lay my burden down
And my fear would fly away
My heart would not be bound
I wish I could, because I'm so close to the truth
But I'm a little too close to home

If I wanted to gamble
And take a chance upon the wheel
I'd leave the scratch and scramble
And go back with a click of my heel
I'd be just like Dorothy
Comin' home from the Land of Oz
I'd see the things I struggled thru
And give myself a round of applause

I wish I could
Cause I'm so close to the truth
But I'm a little too close to home

If I could ever find the key
I'd leave the baggage by the door
And I'd at last be, I'd at last be free
I would lay my burden down
And my fear would fly away
My heart would not be, would not be bound
I would finally see the light
And at last I would be strong
As the truth pushed back the night

I wish I could
Cause I'm so close to the truth
But I'm a little too close to home
I'm a little too close to home
