The Ark The Homecomer lyrics

They look so sweet
Measure them from head to feet

The homecomer with a straw hat
Showing color-slides of a viper and a bat
And where to go and where it's at

Sitting drinking wine with the grown-ups by the fire
Telling all night 'bout the places he's been
And the people there
Oh, the kids would love to hear so they sneak up near

I'll come home with a mind of my own
And a rucksack full of secrets I can show
While everyone tries to picture
What the homecomer's eyes have seen

A homecomer is what I always wanted to be
The homecomer with a straw hat
Finds his way without a map
On the countryside or in London town

Looking at the children with love in his face

Telling them softly that
When I was your age
I longed to be someone like me

The homecomer with a sun-tan
Touches his own face
With the hands of a man
Somethings has changed he's not the same

After an appointment with a very old friend
All good days must come to an end
So he goes to bed
And he closes his eyes

I'll come home with a mind of my own
And a rucksack full of secrets I can show
While everyone tries to picture
What the homecomer's eyes have seen
A homecomer is what I always wanted to be
