from the day that we began
Wait around till we run around
before it all comes back again
When his country went to war,
he knew they'd draw his name
He told them he was crazy,
but they would not let him be
Sent him off as a wandering hero
He was fighting until nightfall,
Your peace would come back,
and you'd get back home again
Wouldn't get any younger, man,
once you get back home again
Twenty years is a long time
when you wanna be someplace else
I see his name in everyone
Seven years with Calypso,
Stared at the constellations
wishing for the girl I was dreaming of
Some of the times I've stood
underneath the Beard Joint sign
Cause even old Odysseus got bored
I'm digging in my billfold,
cutting out the spare change
so I can get back home again
Spend the night with strangers,
I better keep on look in'
So I can get back home again
Old times always stay the same
And brand new days are strange
But you never lose yourself
We are turning right to Ses
till you can get back home again
Make it through the worst day,
callin' out the God's name
till you get back home again
