That there's no place like home
But I'm just seeking refuge
In a world full of storms
Washed up on a distant shore
Can't go home anymore
The natives are hostile
Whatever I say
The thing they fear most is
That I might want to stay
By their side on a distant shore
Can't go home anymore
I escape my tormentors
By crossing the sea
What I cannot escape is
Memory
Far away on a distant shore
Can't go home anymore
Everyone knows That there's no place like home But I'm just seeking refuge In a world full of storms Washed up on a distant shore Can't go home anymore The natives are hostile Whatever I say The thing they fear most is That I might want to stay By their side on a distant shore Can't go home anymore I escape my tormentors By crossing the sea What I cannot escape is Memory Far away on a distant shore Can't go home anymore Explain Request ×
