It was a lifetime ago, as brothers we lived at home There was a fond farewell as I sailed away alone All of these years I've been travelling No one could dream the things I have seen All of these years I've been wandering Back to this land, back to these leas Here on this earth, far overseas
Brother I've tales to tell As we gather round your hearth And I have songs as well that tell of exotic arts All of these years of great skill and care You stayed right here and raised up a home All of these years I've been everywhere I was your eyes, I was your ears Over the earth, far overseas
Who's gonna say who's right And who's wrong Who's gonna say who's weak And who's strong Such is life and all and all It's up to you
Now as I tell my tales you can be at my side And as I see your house my heart leaps up and cries We are two halves of experience Now we can share a harvest so fine And we shall give thanks for our providence We are at home, under these eaves With food for the soul from far overseas
