The Day I Get Home Lyrics

    (difford/tilbrook)

    When this young man comes rolling home
    The lamp posts move and in the road
    I sing and dance in falling rain
    It's good to be back home again
    The roads of air that map the globe
    Take me away to places new
    I'm lucky i can get around
    I'm taking off and touching down
    When i get home it's much the same
    The tax returns return again
    The news is on it isn't good
    I see the trees but not the wood

    The road stretches out as far as i can see
    And i eat the lines ahead of me
    It's experience
    As the days unfold
    But there's nothing quite like
    The day i get home

    When this young man comes rolling home
    The cheese on toast is in the grill
    Memories are filed away
    I come and go, it's fun that way
    The roads of air that map the globe
    Go east and west and north and south
    I like to look and see the sights
    I stay up late and hit the heights

    When i return things haven't changed
    Neither have i, i like to think
    The world's an oyster on a plate
    I get around and get up late
