My dear parents good bye
I do love you but I
Have to give it a try a try
Oh my thinking is sold
After I´ve been around

I should be homeward bound
Homeward bound
It´s thursday five o´clock in the morning
And I´ve packed a little bag
I´m tiptoing throught the appartment
And holding my breath like the nights
When I came after midnight
So that mother would´nt wake up
Last evening at dinner
I thought for a moment
That she´s expected something
She said I looked pale
She wanted to know if I felt all right
I told her that I was fine but just fine
I think she made believe that she believed me
And father had just smiled
It´s strange I thought that
Living home will be tougher

More overwhelming
Like a big adventure
But less hearttearing
Oh but I musn´t go back
Get a little bit farther
There is a railroad station
And after the train
The boat
The atlantic ocean
And after the altlantic ocean
I feel strange
Like if I had a cage around my chest
It nearest stops my breathing
I wonder if my folks
In a little while will know that I´m crying
No I musn´t go back
Or even turn my head around
I must only see why I told myself

I should see
And why and why
And how
It´s five to seven now
I´m falling asleep in the train
That staying it is a boat away
A little bit further
A little bit more
And I won´t be back
I dare not be back
My dear parents good bye
I do love you but I
Have to give it a try a try
Oh my thinking is sold
After I´ve been around
I should be homeward bound
Homeward bound
