Creep in through my window Dance upon the wall Come in here beside me Climb into my soul Take me to the water, Down into the cool Everlasting memory Everlasting pool Aching in the darkness Burning in the sun Calling from the water This life has just begun Strength of blood and muscle Life of wood and bone Searching for a fire Searching for a home... Home...home...home... Crouching in the darkness Hiding in the stone Trembling in the darkness This man is not alone Hit me by the memory Hurt me to the bone Make my fists with starlight Carry me back home... Home... (HOME.) (HOME.) Ay...yah (HOME.) Ay...yah Ay...yah Ay...yah Ay...yah Ay...yah (Ay-yah, ay-yah, we say "ay-yah", ay-yah) Ay...yah (Ay-yah, ay-yah, we say "ay-yah", ay-yah) Ay...yah (Ay-yah, ay-yah, we say "ay-yah", ay-yah) Ay...yah (Ay-yah, ay-yah, we say "ay-yah", ay-yah) Hear them say ay-yah...
