Wessex Boy
(专辑: England Keep My Bones - 2011)
Let me tell you all a
little story of the
things I've found, Hanging out and drinking with my friends in the
cathedral grounds, And later dodging drunks as we dance along Jury Street, As we wander up town to the
railway our friends to meet, There's something about coming back to your hometown again, The
place where you grew up and where you found your firmest friends, And though none of them still live here, I've got nowhere to go, I'm a
Wessex Boy and when I'm here I'm home Let me tell you all a
little story of the
things I've lost, Huddling for warmth on the
top step of the
Buttercross, Sitting on the
benches by the
bridges at the
riverside, Of counting down the
hours for the
buses cause I
missed my ride There's something about coming back to your hometown again, The
place where you grew up and where you found your firmest friends, And though none of them still live here, I've got nowhere to go, I'm a
Wessex Boy, a
Wessex boy and when I'm here I'm home And one day I
will hear this song anonymous and sweet, Ringing out from a
buskers guitar on the
ancient city streets, I'll stand along while and smile before I
continue on the
road, And somebody else will sing the
words and I'll feel like I'm home There's something about hometowns you never can escape The
triumphs and the
tragedies and those of little faith The
welling of nostalgia and feeling kind of strange, Cause despite the
little changes yeah this place still feels the
same There's something about coming back to your hometown again, The
place where you grew up and where you found your firmest friends, And though none of them still live here, I've got nowhere to go, I'm a
Wessex Boy, I'm a
Wessex boy and when I'm here I'm home
