Already Home

Bus was late
I don't care,
Guess it's something to say
Ride around with the prams out of daycare
Complain, suited crowds block the way
Slip to a seat right at the back
And watch the clouds bleed to black

And why race?
I'll get home sometime like yesterday
My pay's been late a couple of days
Don't complain, trade some sleep for some patience
Have a snack and just relax
Your back needs a break

And I hope, you'll be already home
And I hope, you'll be already home

What's this game?
We run around and deal out our names
Build castles in the sand then wash away
Put my jumper on think winter's on it's way

It's getting late,
It's a short walk from the stop to our place
My hands are cold the shops light the way
But I'll walk the other way tomorrow again

And I hope, you'll be already home
And I hope, you'll be already home

And the kids in their school uniforms
Get off at the same time as me
I offer them my good luck
hope they're happy when they're sleeping

A weepy little thing
Doesn't like the peak bus on a week day
I slide out of my seat so that her dad can rest his feet

And there's billionaires for president
And parking fines at hospitals

I'm not the only one that knows
I brush the crumbs on off my clothes

And I hope, you'll be already home
And I hope, you'll be already home
And I hope, you'll be already home
And I hope, you'll be already home
