Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, hey, Tommy, I'm so far away Up in these hills the tall trees sway As hunters haul their fallen prey And the snow falls on the lane And I'm shivering once again Somehow, my friend, I fell asleep And tied my ankles in my sheets Awoke so slow to snow so deep No, but I can't run away To my horses and my sleigh [Chorus] Oh, now I know I'm home Yes, now I know I'm home [Verse 2] Well, hey, Tommy, tell me how you been I heard you chipped your chiseled chin And sea salt burned the broken skin As the thick ice melted thin Now we see the end begin Oh, isn't it so strange to think How down in the ground our bones will sink And fill the holes where blind moles blink But we somehow find our way To the palace in the clay [Chorus] Oh, now I know I'm home Yes, now I know I'm home [Verse 3] The little girl's a silhouette Against the evergreen she set In summer when the ground was wet Now the roots have found a hold And they'll protect her from the cold Well, I'm just a city boy, my friend But I know where the winter ends It walks away as spring begins And dies beneath the rain Then this whole mess starts again [Chorus] Oh, now I know I'm home Yes, now I know I'm home
