Coming home again

[the_callum]

After another strenuous week, I've just come home. The train ride was especially annoying this time, as all the trains were late, and it's really hot here now. But apart from that, I usually enjoy the trip. It's a bit like holidays - at least the travelling part. The lecturing, however, is always very energy-consuming. And yet, I like that, too.

This is what I listened to when I got back home. I think it suits the feeling perfectly.

A Haven for My Heart

I ran the streets through rush-hour, just to catch the northern train.
I've overstayed my welcome in this big old town again,
and the thing that keeps me going, every-time I fall apart,
is the promise of a haven for my heart

We're rolling out of Connolly, and the suburbs pass me by.
Along that eastern seaboard, there's a thunder stricken sky
A surrealistic lightening strikes a pathway from the park,
and I'm heading for a haven for my heart.

I told you, I told you, right from the start,
I'll always, always keep a haven for my heart.
A haven for my heart, a refuge for my soul.
A place that I can come home to, when living takes it's toll

I drive towards the mountains, in a pounding fall of rain.
Across that see-through borderline, I feel I'm home again.
I'm a salmon swimming upstream in it's cycle of re-birth,
and I'm heading for a haven for my heart

I told you, I told you, right from the start
I'll always keep a haven for my heart.
A haven for my heart, a refuge for my soul.
A place that I can come home to, when living takes it's toll.
