Bee Gees – Home Again Rivers lyrics

You took it in your stride to run away and hide
Thru all the pain of battle and the breaking of your pride
Sweet Billy James's been asking where you've gone
It's been so many years now since you've taken off the gun

Well, the grass is getting dry
And it seems your name they're calling
The rain, it hasn't fallen
Only tears shed from our eyes

They say there is a grave
In the hills of West Virginia
But dying isn't in ya
But the whinstone bears your name

You're the father of your child
But your mind just seems to wander
Let no man hold you under
While your heart is running wild

And I've searched so many towns
And I've roamed so many places
I've seen so many faces
But I've never known your own

Well, there's gonna be a day
When your drinking wine is through now
And the people close to you now
Will have you here to stay.

Home again rivers
Home again rivers
Come home again rivers
Rivers come home.
