[Lyric] Homesick (Bishop Delgado)

[Verse 1]
I'm so far from home, I'm a stranger in this city
No one speaks the melodious accent of the south
I miss the verdant hills and rivers so pretty
The delicious cheese that brings thunder in your mouth
Everything tastes better there, the water tastes like wine
The fruits are sun drenched, and the people are too
You never get cold, everyday you feel the sunshine
All you have to do is open your window and enjoy the view

[Chorus]
I want my heart to be buried where I grew up
In the old dirt that once was my garden
Plant a tree with my ashes, where my old cat passed
So all my friends can bask in the shadow I cast

[Bridge]
I always miss the warmth of my home
My cat purring on my lap by the fireplace
Sometimes I wonder why I roam
Do I really need to win that race ?
[Verse 2]
I only feel like myself when I'm home
The old walls are healing the scars I made
It's worsening my Peter Pan syndrome
But it's a price I already paid
When I'm in my old room, I get younger by a decade
The world out there is cold and ugly
I'm still a little boy, lost and afraid
I miss a goodnight kiss and a bedtime story

[Chorus]
I want my heart to be buried where I grew up
In the old dirt that once was my garden
Plant a tree with my ashes, where my old cat passed
So all my friends can bask in the shadow I cast
All the people I love can join me
So our family can become a forest
And forever be a part of that beautiful land
Leaves growing out of my hands til' the grass turns to sand

[Bridge]
I thought I would be there forever
Turns out forever is not that long
My tears flow down, just like a river
As once again I sing my lonely song
I thought I would be there forever
Turns out forever is not that long
My tears flow down, just like a river
As once again I sing my lonely song
