about

Written by annA rydeR in May 1992 for my mum

lyrics

It's time for us all to be leaving
We'll pack up our things and we'll go
A song in our hearts is still breathing
We'll pack up our things and we'll go
Back to our houses and back to our work
Back to the lives we all know
Back on the road again, travelling home again
Hoping the journey is slow
But my mind will spend hours retrieving
The moments I felt I was stealing, stealing

And now I am woke from my dreaming
We'll pack up our things and we'll go
For songs in my veins they are teeming
We'll pack up our things and we'll go
Back to our houses and back to our work
Back to our everyday lives
Back on the road again, travelling home again
Hoping we'll never arrive
But all round my brain songs are weaving
Songs which I cannot stand leaving, leaving

And now I have found a new meaning
We'll pack up our things and we'll go
There's people and places I'm needing
We'll pack up our things and we'll go
Back to our houses and back to our work
Back to go on going on
Back on the road again, travelling home again
Hoping the journey is long
And now with the sun in the evening
Leave the threads of the music still streaming, streaming
Above us as homeward we go
