The Lyrics

I'm hoping to eventually be able to put at least bar chords in here, but until then, I can at least put the lyrics up for your enjoyment.


Wishing To Go Home

(Rotman/Kadlec)

From Oroboros' latest release, "Shine", © 1996, on MAIA RECORDS.

Track 1.

Backpacks are fighting
I'm wishing to go home
Set away from this mesmerizing road
On this road I keep travelling
No matter what my destination
All the winter trees have stories of their own

And outside my anger they speak to me
In their glory they tell me to go home
Home -- where the hell you think I'm going

I see a yellow pickup truck
Old maybe new new maybe old
Lumber to keep a house warm
Warm is where you used to be
As I turn round north the trees
Begin to change their way
This time -- they cannot read my future
Oh no they can't tell me what I don't know

You're in my mind and the heat is on
The tree is still laughing at me
And everything is all wrong
Surround me with your memory
Laughter driving me home
