I left my home by the ocean
I left my love by the sea
Dreaming I could sing my songs in the cityI thought the streets of London
Would be paved with gold
But the only gold was in the setting sun
And these city nights are so coldAnd you know that feeling when you've been too long
And you wanna go home and it's so strongI'm going home, I'm going home
Oh, the leaves are falling and the wind is calling
And I must get on the roadYou'll be alone, you'll be alone
But if you're crying to the rhythm of the falling rain
It's alright, I'm on my way, I'm going home
I'm going home, yeaJilly she's got a smile in her eye
And a bed just right for two
Silly how much I love her, but I doSunny days will be here again
She whispered in my ear
Oh Lord, it's funny how much I've missed the country rain
That's a sound I love to hearAnd I know that feeling and I've been too long
And I wanna go home and it's so strongI'm going home, I'm going home,
Oh, the leaves are falling and the wind is calling
And I must get on the roadYou'll be alone, you'll be alone
But if you're crying to the rhythm of the falling rain
It's alright, I'm on the way, I'm going home
I'm going home, yeaOh, hold on darling, I'm going home
I'm on the way, I'm going home
I'm going home, hold on darling
