"Dreams Of Home" lyrics

"Dreams Of Home"

I'm coming home, and how the years have flown
For far too long I've been a stranger in a strange town
So far away, from all the friends I loved
Now I'll go back to my green hills, those friendly smiles

For the boys and girls, who crossed the ocean wide
And leave their friends and all their loved ones on the other side
Oh, take my home, where I belong
I'm dreaming dreams of home for much too long

How things have changed, now nothing seems the same
For I have been away too long I've just myself to blame
And Mary dear, how could you marry him
Was then you shattered all my hopes and all my dreams

For the boys and girls, who crossed the ocean wide
And leave their friends all their loved ones on the other side
Oh, take me home, where I belong
I'm dreaming dreams of home for much too long

I remember well that rainy day, the day I came back home
I never thought that I could be a stranger in my town
And as the rain ran down my face, I cried my tears alone
For here I was a stranger in my own hometown

For the boys and girls, who crossed the ocean wide
And leave their friends all their loved ones on the other side
Oh, take me home, where I belong
I'm dreaming dreams of home for much too long
