Lyrics

[Verse 1] The dimming of the light makes the picture clearer It's just an old photograph There's nothing to hide When the world was just beginning [Verse 2] I memorized a face so it's not forgotten I hear the wind whistlin' Come back anytime And we'll mix our lives together [Verse 3] Heaven knows what keeps mankind alive Every hand goes searching for its partner In crime under chairs and behind tables Connecting to places we have known (I'm looking for a) [Chorus] Home: where the wheels are turning Home: why I keep returning Home: where my world is breaking in two Home: with the neighbors fighting Home: always so exciting Home: were my parents telling the truth? Home: such a funny feeling Home: no one ever speaking Home: with our bodies touching Home: and the cameras watching Home will infect whatever you do We're home, comes to life from outta the blue [Verse 3] Tiny little boats on a beach at sunset I took a drink from a jar And into my head Familiar smells and flavors [Verse 4] Vehicles are stuck on the plains of heaven I see their wheels spinning 'round And everywhere I can hear those people saying [Chorus] That the eye is the measure of the man You can fly from the stuff that still surrounds you We're home and the band keeps marching on Connecting to every living soul Compassion for things I'll never know
