mother i'm coming home to die   'cause everything i found out is a lie   there's no journey that's too far away   high time has come for me to drift away from this world      this city this town   this people that i love   this woman and child   father and son   roads that lead to none   i am leaving for good so long      mother i'm coming home to cry   'cause home is where i've never tried to live   i'm always drifting all about this world so blue   ain't no other colours i've known   ummm      this city this town   this people that i love   they have nothing to offer me   except their kindly hearts   i had nothing   no longing   no space in my heart   to love to care to even be aware      i'm ever gonna feel like i did when i was young   everything is in vain   even my love for this world      this city this town   these roads that lead uphills   the paths through the bushes that holds so much to fill   this dirt that glows   this heart that rolls   this longing never known   too long it's time to end it   there's not a world   if no one is always   seems too much to love to care   i'm leaving tomorrow if i can   mmm      mother i'm coming home   mother i'm coming home   father i'm coming home   father i'm coming home
