Written after a trip back to my home country of NZ from the UK after about 4 years away. Everything's different but nothing changes.
lyrics
I came back for the sunshine
and left wet head to toe from the rain
I came back for the starlight
but the clouds they weren't so keen on giving way
It's just expectation to blame
cos I don't remember rating the weather that much anyway
I came back thinking of you
and wondering just how much you'd changed
but your eyes were still blue and your hair it still grew
and you still laughed like you'd never seen no pain
There's a rose tint to my mirror
cos all those things I liked, they were there
it's just those things that I didn't
they all came back again
it's strange to feel like I'm coming home
so far away
strange to feel like I'm coming home,
that it was just another holiday
