Dreaming of Home

C C/B Am
Four months in Hampshire
F Am Dm
the county of my birth
C C/B Am
Locked down with summer spires,
F Am Dm Em Am
wild flowers, the Itchen and rich dark earth

But dreaming of Penang
The sound of waves from my bed
The dogs barking on the jalan
and fresh watermelon moist and cherry-red

Em Am Em Am
Not sure if I can survive the travel
Bb/D Am Dm
fraught with paper-work, stress and more stress.
A7 Dm G
Already my mind is starting to unravel
F Am Dm
but somehow I have to get through this mess

When I finally enter my apartment, my home,
I will kiss the dust-bound airless tiles
Gaze out at the strait and vow in my bones
that I will never again leave this blessed isle
