Already Home Lyrics


Sometimes you've got to go back
Sometimes you don't know why
Sometimes you've got to go back
Sometimes you don't know whyI can see the sunshine coming through my room
Breaking down the winter of my discontent
Looking out my window at the people passing by
I keep wondering where my old companion wentOn the steps of the museum
I wrote a line or two
But it took a while to find my way back
To something true likeThis is where I lay my hat
This is where they know my name
This is where they show me that
A man's not so alone, noMaybe I'm already home
(Sometimes you've got to go back)
Maybe I'm already home
(Sometimes you don't know why)Rolling down the window burning up the daze
Cutting through the veil that keeps on blinding me
I was only sleeping waiting here for you

Waiting for your touch that keeps reminding meWell I've seen the world of wonders
Been underneath it too
But it took a while just to find my way back
To something true like, likeThis is where I lay my hat
This is where they know my name
This is where they show me that
A man's not so alone, noMaybe I'm already home
(Sometimes you've got to go back)
Maybe I'm already home
(Sometimes you don't know why)Maybe I'm already home
(Sometimes you've got to go back)
Maybe I'm already home
(Sometimes you don't know why)
Maybe I'm already homeWhy it had to take me so long
Just to find a place that really feels
This must be where I belong
Thinking about it all I had to do was click my heelsThis is where I lay my hat
This is where they know my name
This is where they show me that
A man's not so alone, no
Maybe I'mThis is where I lay my hat
This is where they know my name
This is where they show me that
A man's not so alone, no
Maybe I'm already home

Marc Cohn (born July 5, 1959 in Cleveland, Ohio) is an American singer-songwriter, best known for his song Walking In Memphis (often misattributed to Bruce Springsteen or Michael Bolton) from his self-titled 1991 album Marc Cohn.

According to the Walking In Memphis Songfacts, Cohn was discovered by Carly Simon in the mid-'80s when he was with a 14-piece band called The Supreme Court. Atlantic Records signed him in 1989, but the first attempts to record his debut album with Tracy Chapman 's producer David Kerschenbaum failed. Ten months later, he tried again, producing the set himself with help from the little-known Ben Wisch, who had helped him with his demos. Finally released in 1991 when Cohn was 31 years old, his self-titled debut album was a huge hit, thanks to the massive success of "Walking In Memphis." Cohn won the 1991 Grammy for Best New Artist award, beating out both Boyz II Men and Seal and Seal. Cohn never matched the chart success of this song, but like his musical heroes Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell and Jackson Browne , he remained a critical and artistic success as a songwriter and performer.

He has issued two other studio albums to date, The Rainy Season (1993) and Burning the Daze (1998), both on Atlantic Records. A self-released live compilation, Live 04-05 (2005), is being sold at concerts on his current tour.

He is the most famous graduate of Beachwood High School in Beachwood, Ohio, a Cleveland suburb. He attended Oberlin College.

The Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 1992 was awarded to Cohn.

Cohn is married to ABC News journalist Elizabeth Vargas whom he met at the 1999 US Open after being introduced by Andre Agassi. Cohn and Vargas have two sons: Zachary Raphael (born on January 31, 2003) and Samuel Wyatt (born on August 16, 2006). Cohn has two other children—Max and Emily—from a previous marriage.

On August 7, 2005, Cohn was shot in the head during an attempted carjacking, following a concert with Suzanne Vega in Denver, Colorado. He was hospitalized and released the next day. The remaining concerts on the tour were cancelled.

Cohn released "The Very Best of Marc Cohn" in June 2006, and his 4th studio album, "Join The Parade", was released on October 9, 2007.
