Going Home
Izzy/Lenahan. John/Tony Pleece Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll be going home
Quiet light, some still day
I'm just going home
It's not far, just close by
Through an open door
Work all done, care laid by
Mother's there expecting me
Father's waiting, too
Lots of folk gathered there
All the friends I knew
All the friends I knew
Nothing's lost, all's gain
No more fret nor pain
No more stumbling on the way
No more longing for the day
Going to roam no more
Morning star lights the way
Restless dreams all done
Shadows gone, break of day
Real life just begun
There's no break, there's no end
Just a living on
Wide awake with a smile
Going on and on
Going home, going home
I'll be going home
It's not far, just close by
Through an open door
I'm just going home
Going home...
The song "Going Home" by John/Tony Pleece talks about a journey towards home. The lyrics describe the wear and tear of life on an individual and the realization that it's time to return home. The opening lines of the song speak of the bitterness that comes with life's struggles and the pain that stays with us. The song speaks of crooked paths and inconsistent solutions to problems leading to mending that may not be straightened out. The phrase "the sun stopped shining" suggests a moment of despair and perhaps loss of hope. Despite all these struggles, the artist says they are ready to go home at last.
The chorus of the song speaks to the transitions one goes through in life, the ups and downs, and the uncertainty that comes with change. The artist feels that they have gained knowledge but have lost a sense of self. The lyric "my ears stopped ringing" refers to an end to emotional restlessness, and the need for peace, which is found in going home. The bridge of the song describes the journey and the cost that the individual has paid- the lost pieces of the soul left behind. However, despite the price paid, the artist is ready to return home.
The last verse of the song describes love and its challenges - the disagreements and conflicts that come with relationships. Despite this, the artist shares that the rain stops falling and that they are ready to go home. The closing lines reflect a journey of exploration, the places visited, and things learned. The line "I'm all through walking" signifies the end of a journey and the need for rest, closure, and homeward bound.

I got my eyes on you
You're everything that I see
I want your hot love and emotion endlessly
I can't get over you
You left your mark on me
I want your hot love and emotion endlessly
'Cause you're a good girl and you know it
You act so different around me
'Cause you're a good girl and you know it
I know exactly who you could be
Just hold on we're going home
Just hold on we're going home
It's hard to do these things alone
Just hold on we're going home
I got my eyes on you
You're everything that I see
I want your hot love and emotion endlessly
I can't get over you
You left your mark on me
I want your hot love and emotion endlessly
'Cause you're a good girl and you know it (oh, yeah)
You act so different around me
'Cause you're a good girl and you know it
I know exactly who you could be
