about

A very personal song to me. Written at a strange time in my life. Friends were coming and going and so was I really.

lyrics

Home (Idris Davies )

The rain outside is washing
The memories of my mind
My feet like fingers groping
The sodden street of time
The diying dogs are howling
Howling out your name
Hoping youll make it safely home

Distant faces linger
In the fleeting shadows gaze
A single slightly finger
Points for them the way
Wheels of judgment tumble
Past this window pain
And I’m waiting for you to come safely home

A stubborn sense of reason
Brandishes the day
My eyes like out of season
Life put me to shame
I’m lost alone I’m beaten
My words pressed into clay
Here’s hoping you make it safely home

The broken world around me
Stands only up for shame
Buildings lay in peaces
Hiding from your Name
The superficial servants
Crumble where you came
So here’s hoping you make it safely home

The seat is cold and vacant
Palm trees hanging low
The birds for you are silent
The sun doesn’t want to go
The blind are all preparing
In faith they seem to know
That you’ll soon be coming safely home

And so I lay here watching
Through this window pain
The sky in glory burning
With the echo of your name
And I see all the good things
That you’ve done and that you’ll do
And so I know you’ll be coming safely home.
