Homesick

Basia Bulat

Every time
Every time
Every time I hear it
I get homesick

The empty trees swinging in the breeze
Someone’s whistling like they’re free
Don’t I know that song?
I thought I knew that song

Take my heavy heart and drive me north
What I’m looking for, it has no name at all
Take my heavy heart and drive me north
We can talk about those days we spent abroad

Every time
Every time
Every time I’m near it
I get homesick for where I was

Dead printed leaves blowing down my street
Someone telling me I was lost
And now I’m found
Oh, I was not!

Oh take my heavy heart and drive me north
What I’m looking for, it has no end at all
Oh, take my heavy heart and drive me north
We can talk about those memories we lost
And if I cry, oh I won’t remember why

I get homesick
It happens every time
I get homesick
Can you remember why?
