Coming Home

[PTCruiser1801]

Hi everyone,

 

This is my latest song called 'Coming Home'. It is inspired by the amount of people I have heard stories about or known myself who were forced to emigrate over a number of years from Ireland to countries around the world.

 

 

The song describes the longing to return home for these people and that for some of them they always have that wish to return home, despite the fact that they might never get the chance to. It is one of my favourite songs that I have ever written and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I would recommend listening with headphones but without is just fine too! Thanks, Paul

 

Here are the lyrics:

 

Coming Home

 

Verse 1

I still see your faces,

Hiding how much you're aching.

Unfamiliar places,

I know my heart is breaking,

Thinking about home.

 

Verse 2

I miss the way we live.

I miss your warm embrace.

Oh what I wouldn't give,

For a chance to see your face.

I'm thinking about home.

 

Chorus

Home,

I'm coming home.

Home,

I'm coming home.

 

Verse 3

You're half the world away,

But it feels like more.

I don't know what I'd say,

If I called at your door.

You'd say, 'Welcome home!'

 

Verse 4

I think I'm gone forever,

You think i'll be back soon.

But never say never,

I've got some news for you.

I'm coming back home.

This crossed my mind while listening.

I miss the way we live.

I miss your warm embrace.

Oh what I wouldn't give,

For a chance to see your face.

I'm thinking about home.

 

My thoughts

 

Missing the way I lived

Missing the warm embracement

Oh, what I wouldn't give

For a chance to be back to the place

I'm thinking about home

 

 

that was just a thought while listening

Nice. I agree that using "place" instead of "face" as a rhyme in the 2nd verse might improve the lyric a little.

[LCK]

Personally, I wouldn't take much stock in anything Henry Ford said. Hitler got most of his ideas about exterminating an entire race of people from Ford.

Maybe not exactly the way it's rewritten here, but changing "a chance to see your face" is a good call. I know a couple people from other countries that Skype with their whole families for an hour at least once a week. With that in mind, that line doesn't ring true for me. Grant it, not everybody has that capability, but an embrace is not something that can be duplicated with today's technology.
