Came home



Word and music: Harrie Blommesteijn





Came home on a night-flight

The sun never went down

Been looking down to this world and it Seemed smaller than I thought

So Im longing for the open plains

For space I need to find

Im dreamin of a river wide

As crystal as my mind





Find myself here out of place

in this land of swamp and rain

Find myself a stranger here

With not much more to gain

So Ill go out in the open land

To try and find some space

To settle down and live again

And leave without a trace





For all my life Im searching

It was such a restless time

Searched for love and for someone

to help me stay myself

I feel the urge to move ahead

And leave this far behind

Been hanging round this place to long

Been drifting out of mind



Find myself here out of place

In this swamp of misery and rain

Living like a stranger here

With not much more to gain

So lets go to the un-promised land

Where hope and dreams come true

Where crystal rivers flow beneath

A sky thats always new



The autumn is already here

The time has flown away

My life seemed just a fraction

Of a long predicted play

So I humbly go along the road

And following the flow

Ill reach the place where I belong

Where you and I will go





Find myself here out of place

In this swamp of shops and rain

Living like a stranger here

With not much more to gain

So Ill go out in the open land

Where green shades turn to blue

Go searching for myself out there

Then one day Ill find you
