Cooler at the edge Longing for the green Cooler back where you come from And you survive, you survive But you're not alive Slower back where you come from
Better off, but lonely Foreign streets are so straight And oh to be understood But go back home, that's what they say, go Oh but they don't have to know you
It's the pull of the moon, full rising The power of the tide going out And it holds you forever Even if you never go home
Café, laughing strangers Cooler kind of smile They've got a different, a different sense of humor And try as you can, you just can't get inside And oh that distance you can't hide
It's the pull of the moon, full rising The power of the tide going out And it holds you forever Even if you never go home (2x)
