lyrics

World away

I walk the streets of a town that don’t know me no more
I’ve been forgotten since I left for sunnier shores
The wind whispers to me as if it was trying to say
Why in the world would I stray, a world away?

Travel the world, I was told, would make me a man
All the four corners, I’ve sailed and come back again
Always reminding myself wherever I roam
Someday my journey will soon, be calling me home

The tears of my mother far away, cry for me a river every day
Not forgiven, not forgotten
As I stand before they lay
Why in the world would I stray a world away?

So here I stand looking down at a stone in the ground
Searching my soul for reprieve, but there’s none to be found
Begging forgiveness from those who can no longer say
Why in the world would I stray, a world away?
Why in the world would I stray, a world away?
Why in the world would I stray, a world away?

Put on yer dancing clogs on and get down to a Shambos gig – or we’ll come and get yeh!! ... more
