I quit my job on a Friday Told all my friends it's goodbye, hey Within a week I was flyin' across the sea To where I'm meant to be Everything felt like a failure I'd had enough of Australia That grass is greener philosophy Had a hold on me But the Southern Cross is in the sky As I close my tired eyes When I wake, I will be home again, home again She said that we were connected (oh) I don't know what I expected (oh) Maybe I hoped she could rescue me from everything Now I'm there again But the Southern Cross is in the sky As I close my tired eyes When I wake, I will be home again, home again But the Southern Cross is in the sky As I close my tired eyes When I wake, I will be home again, home again Home again, home again Home again I often wonder at night Could I have stayed there to fight for it? But there's no sense in denyin' I was all alone, now I'm comin' home Everything right where I left it I don't know what I expected She said that we were connected And the Southern Cross is in the sky As I close my tired eyes When I wake, I will be home again, home again Yeah, the Southern Cross is in the sky As I close my tired eyes When I wake, I will be home again, home again Home again, home again Home again
