These children never heard my name
But I’m living like a king
Now and then I feel I can’t go on
But I’ve got more than a man could wish for
Like the arrows I shot at the sun I feel I’m stranded
On a distant strip of sand
And I kind of like the wind that’s tossing my hair
Sending me off on distant crossing, sending me off on another chase
But
Something happened on the way home
Something I could never really own
Something happened on the way home
Way down south I met myself
Or at least he looked like a lot I do
But I could never take him home
‘Cause he stayed in Circe’s garden
And I dropped the promises I made myself
A hundred fathoms in the water
Something happened on the way home
Something I could never really own
Something happened on the way home
