Home Away from Home

words/music by Matt Ralph (c) 2020

And all across the world

All across the seas

All across the world

You and me

And all across the world

All across the seas

All across the world

You and me

Bali morning at the corner house 

A frangipani falls at my feet 

Such a sweet place to rest 

I’m thinking of you across the seas 

From Amsterdam to the Cypress Hills

Youve taken me with you 

There’s a coaster on my wall 

A little piece from you from Bruges 

And I want to bring you here 

With time to drift and kiss you sweet

I’m thinking of you now 

A smile on your lips across the seas 

And your home away from home 

Lifts you up as you touch down again

And on the streets that you roam 

There’s memories sweet as you breathe them in

And this city that you’ve know 

Welcomes you back just like an old friend

And across an azure sky 

We begin

And the long white beaches roll from the city to the sea

From the shade of the swaying palms across the oceans you reaching to me

And I can hear your spirit high 

From the cafes and the streets

And across  an azure sky 

You and me

From the shady sands of Seminyak

I’m waiting for your day to start

As the shadows track back to back 

And the dust is dancing like golden sparks

From tour buses on crazy streets

You’ve let me see what you see

Through places dark and filled with grief

You’ve trusted you can share with me

You’re a diamond in the northern lights

As you make your way from bed to bed

I wish you days clear and bright

Every time you lay your head

And your home away from home 

lifts you up as you touch down again

And on the streets that you roam there’s memories sweet as you breathe them in

And this city that you’ve know 

It welcomes you back just like an old friend

And across an azure sky 

We begin

And the long white beaches roll 

From the city to the sea

From the shade of the swaying palms across the oceans you reaching to me

And I can hear your spirit high 

From the cafes and the streets

And across  an azure sky 

You and me

And all across the world

And all across the seas

All across the world

You and me

And all across the world

And all across the seas

All across the world

You and me
