lyrics

How good it is to find yourself so happy,
And how strange it is to find yourself so free,
And then just be turning right around, and putting so much ground
Between yourself and this place you'd rather be.

How easy it is to see that you love these people,
And how sweet, to realise that they love you,
And how wrong does it then seem, to just step out of a dream
Into a world that sometimes tries to break your heart.

But there are so many places that are home to me,
So many souls tangled up with mine,
And so whatever freedom in myself, that I find here with you,
May it stay with me and not be left behind.

How right it is to find somewhere to fill yourself,
And how strong is the compulsion, there to stay.
But you leave like a bird who leaves the comfort of the land,
For the ocean when the Summer goes away.

And there are so many places that are home to me,
So many souls tangled up with mine,
And so whatever freedom in myself, that I find here with you
May it stay with me and not be left behind.
