Going Home

Dorothy has left and gone away
The birds are flying toward a northern bay
The tired faces slowly file off the plane
Where do they go?
They're going home

A top hat and a woolen scarf
Are lying where the snowman stood in my front yard
I hope that where you want to be is where you are
And when you go
You're going home

Maybe I was quick to leave
The only place that I've known love
And maybe I will never see
Anywhere that makes me feel so much

Pieces of promises and dreams
Are piled up like dirty dishes in the sink
I look around and I don't recognize I thing
Where can I go?
I'm going home

Maybe I was quick to leave
The only place that I've known love
And maybe I will never reach
The other side that's green and lush

The kitchen smells like pumpkin pie
My sister laughs so hard that tears fill up her eyes
We're drinking coco and there's kids playing outside
While it snows
That's going home

When that home is far away
And loneliness has got me wishing I had stayed
I close my eyes and I am right back in that place
And when I go
When I go
I'm going home
