about

This track is a 1 take live vocal and acoustic with added 12 String and Lead Guitar overdubs.
Based around a chorus I've had in the back of my mind for a while, it's a lyrical theme that is as relevant as ever in my life.
The idea of doing a "raw acoustic version" is to keep it as a reference if I decide to try and take the song in a different direction at a later date.
If you are still reading thanks for taking the time.

lyrics

LET ME GO HOME
I guess I’m struggling with a few things I’ve got playing on my mind
And I swore I’d never be what I’ve become
You say it’s just the winter dragging me down
When I tell you that I’ve been here for too long

And you can think what you like
And pretend that you understand my reasons
“yeah it’ll be alright”
But I don’t wanna be here no more
I don’t wanna be here no more
I don’t wanna be here no more
I don’t wanna be here no more, Let me go home

Lately I’ve been thinking and yearning for the past
And a place and time so far away from here
I don’t dare to make a ripple but I’m drowning in the calm
But the nerve to up and leave soon disappears

And you can think what you like
And pretend that you understand my reasons
“yeah it’ll be alright”
But I don’t wanna be here no more
I don’t wanna be here no more
I don’t wanna be here no more
I don’t wanna be here no more…..

Among the shadows of night
I can’t still feel her holding me tight
Among the whispers of what used to be
A bit of hope still survives

And you can think what you like
And pretend that you understand my reasons
“yeah it’ll be alright”
But I don’t wanna be here no more
I don’t wanna be here no more
I don’t wanna be here no more
I don’t wanna be here no more, Let me go home
Let me go home
Let me go home
Let me go home
