    Story Behind the Song
    Taken from a radio appearance on Boston's WBBR Backroads Mainstreet.

    This tune is about home and having more than one. That way, it's easier to go home again.

    Lyrics
    Home Again

    this old backyard it covers me in memories
    with its patchwork of small defeats and victories
    so overgrown
    and once my own

    I shared it with the neighborhood
    and thought for sure I always would
    but it passed
    gone by so fast

    with the news we had to relocate
    packed up our things, headed upstate
    off this island
    that’s been such a good friend

    [ch]
    but I’ll return when summer leaves are changing
    and taste we will the autumn air so fair
    when red and yellow leaves descend
    I hope to be on my way home again

    started out full of innocence and wonder
    now I’m longing for that spell that I was under
    but it slipped my mind
    after all this time

    so you take a turn at trying something new
    make a home of it and see just how it suits you
    this’ll do fine
    think I’ll call it mine

    [ch]

    head down the road from Hudson to Magnolia
    then make a left turn just how I told ya
    and you’ll find me
    dreaming quietly

    in the company of my brown eyed best friend
    side by side we’re strollin’ to the end
    of my block
    must be ‘bout eight o’clock

    chasin’ summer’s settin’ sun
    wishin’ it had just begun
    but it’s done
    but we sure did have our fun

    but I’ll return when summer leaves are changing
    and taste we will the autumn air so fair
    when red and yellow leaves descend
    upon the playgrounds of Wenonah
    on the sidewalks and the trails behind the fences we as children climbed
    I hope to be on my way home again
