about

An immigrant song about missing home.

lyrics

A little Piece of Home – written by G D Sweeney

I couldn’t say what time it was but I knew that I was late
You could just tell by the look on the barman’s face
Sitting alone on the edge of my seat..i could hear my own heart beat
Drinking my beer, and chasing down whiskey neat.

I’m so far away but tonight I’m feeling so close
Cuz my hearts crying out for a little piece of home.

Without a word, or a sound woman sits down. She’s got jet black hair
And eyes you could drown in. She asked what took me here to this town and I said.
I came over here to earn a few pound and the days turned to years before I looked around
While my friends disappeared and all they settled down to wed.

Now life’s pretty good, I got a job with a suit and a house up on the hill
And the people here treat me like one of their own..but still!
When the days at it’s death and theres whiskey on my breath
I get a tear of regret, and I dream of that place and the promise I made when I left.

I’m so far away but tonight I’m feeling so close
Cuz my hearts crying out for a little piece of home.
Cuz I’m so far away and you remind me of someone I know
I’m scratching around for a little piece of home.

Now fate took it’s chance and I asked her to dance and she put down her drink and got close
She said…We’ve only just met… and you don’t know me yet… so here goes
You see I’m not from this town and i thought I’d come down and drown my sorrows in booze
cuz I’m far from my own and the place I call home just like you

I’m so far away but tonight won’t you hold me so close
and my hearts crying out for a little piece of home.
I’m so far away…but tonight I don’t feel alone
I feel like I’ve found a little piece of home.
