Today, I'll hide behind my microphone

And nurse my broken bones

I think I'd like to be back home

And I just can't wait

So wish me luck and I'll celebrate

And I'll get my coat

And send the note that I wrote

Just to let you know

That I'm just a stone's throw

Away from home

And there's no quick and easy way

To short the fuse you carry, hey!

As you're here, will you agree

There's been no change, it's still ol' me

I'm halfway home so leave the lantern on for me

I'm tired of kicking stones and I'll be back home today

I'll stay behind my microphone

Because the more I moan

Can only leave my chances blown

And I just can't wait

So wish me fortune, a safe escape

And I'll get my coat

And send the note that I wrote

Just to let you know

That I'm just a stone's throw

Away from home

And there's no quick and easy way

To short the fuse you carry, hey!

As you're here, will you agree

There's been no change, it's still ol' me

I'm halfway home and I'm tired of kicking stones

And there's no tried and tested way

I bought the blues feel each day

Won't you stray and walk with me

and keep my patience in a tree?

I'm halfway home so leave the lantern on for me

I'm tired of kicking stones and I'll be back home today

And there's no tried and tested way

I bought the blues feel each day

Won't you stray and walk with me

and keep my patience in a tree?

I'm halfway home so leave the lantern on for me

I'm tired of kicking stones and I'll be back home today
