Tell me where did you go when you left from this town?
Was the better place you found just better cause it was new
Were the people all around really that different from here
Did the cars and horns there make less noise or did they disappear
I bet they did yeah
I bet they did you kind
And what did it take to make you come on back
Did you have so much time, did your rope have so much slack?
Did you crucify my heart
Did you know what you could do
Did you think there might be someone here who was thinking of poor old you
No I bet it didn't
It never crossed your mind
And then these streets were new again
And the colour came back to the trees
And the faces seemed friendlier once they didn't know your name
It all makes so much sense to me
How did you feel when you realized
That the people here have changed and moved on with their lives
Didn't think of you every day, they never even cried
A long way from home you'll be for the rest of your life
I bet it didn't even cross your mind
