Wayfaring Sons Lyrics - Going Somewhere - Colin Hay

Don't go out in the night 

Even though you know the town 

Someone always wants to fight 

You end up lying on the ground 

I dream of lying in the sun 

In my ears hear the ocean roaring 

Like all good wayfaring sons 

I traveled home 

And the rain is pouring 

Soaks me to my skin 

I duck into this public house 

Get shattered by the din 

I sailed across the sea 

My family and me 

I never knew if I'd return 

But in my memory I learned 

So here we are once again 

With my friends and the whiskey's flowing 

And as the cold night air descends 

I drift away 

And my mind it wanders 

Back to southern skies 

I call myself a fool 

I hope I wake and realize 

[Incomprehensible] 

Some people they get maimed 

Yes, round the world I've been 

No two places are the same 

I dream of lying in the sun 

In my ears, hear the ocean roaring 

Like all good wayfaring sons 

I traveled home 

With some more good stories 

I build them up through time 

They'll all become a pack of lies 

When I'm beyond my prime
