Home Again
Christmas seems strange on a warm summer day
Reminds me just how far I've roamed
Far from the mountains and the valleys I knew
The memory turns my thoughts to home
(chorus)
And when I see that broad fell again
And feel the wind blowing cold from the glen
The curlew will call and the ocean will roar
Then I'll be home again once more
Then I'll be home again once more
Australia's been good to a wandering boy
It's where my children all were born
This is their homeland, it's the land that I chose
The ties that bind me here are strong
ch
They say that the migrant can never go home
The only constant there is change
Cities and towns can be moulded like clay
But not a northern mountain range
