"Making it Home", accompanied by the music of Blue Dot Sessions "The Envelope”, inspired by the song "Soon as I get home" by The Waterboys

 

Damp November night outside

indoors, behind the wall,

senseless games of a crowd…

 

Within the cold autumn air,

faithful companions…

A tune,

a roll up,

and a pint

devour the darkness of night…

 

Visiting players 

never stay long…

Passers by with just time for a fag…

Occasionally come and go…

 

He already knows…

 

He’s making it alone…

Not lonely though,

he would say…

 

Despite their pathetic rules,

of dos and don’ts…

He already knows…

He’ll make it home…

 

Face to face…

Wearing a crown and a robe…

He’d tell his story 

of how he made it over…

 

For many against all odds…

He’d enter the burning furnace…

with a waterboys song 

inebriating everyone’s breath…

 

The door would swing open…

And wearing a crown and a robe…

He’d tell his story 

of how he made it over…

 

Back where he belonged…

 

Where he always belonged…

 

A crown 

A robe 

A tune 

A pint 

A roll up…

 

At home…

Where they always belonged!
