[a tear in my eye]

travelling North –
I found the old road had been bypassed,
and the new road was a series of roundabouts.
[a tear in my eye]

travelling North –
I revisited familiar gateways,
that no longer lead to a past.
[a tear in my eye]

travelling North –
I heard voices,
first heard in the homes of my youth –
and nothing could be more real.
