lyrics

My dearest love, I miss you so
I’m writing you from Moab
It’s dusty where I stay
And the walls seem thin
I can hear their din
Today

The siesta has been good to me
Brought me and you a child or three
But you know I’ve got to leave
The fans all scream
I must rejoin the team
Alone

I know they talk of violence
From the gods
But I’ll be alright
I swear

I’ve missed the fans acclaiming every word
I’ve missed the way we all seem so absurd
But most of all I’ve missed my friends and laughing every night
The game’s been good to me, and I swear I’ll be good back

So we’re back on base again and there’s a joy in all our veins
It’s The Return
Now we’ve returned
The gods seem to like it and the umps are playing fair
It’s The Return
Now we’ve returned
We’re alright

The weather’s always perfect, clear and blue
What that means for us, I’ve got no clue
It’s fine for now and that’s all that I need to do my job
I’ve just got to get my head down, give the fans what they deserve

So we’re back on base again and there’s a joy in all our veins
It’s The Return
Now we’ve returned
The gods seem to like it and the umps are playing fair
It’s The Return
Now we’ve returned
We’re alright

I’m lost without you
I’m lost without you my dear
It’s been nice, but it still doesn’t feel like home
Just gotta make it to the end of the season

Still I’ve missed the fans acclaiming every word
I’ve missed the way we all seem so absurd
But most of all I’ve missed my friends and laughing every night
The game’s been good to me, and I swear I’ll be good back

So we’re back on base again and there’s a joy in all our veins
It’s The Return
Now we’ve returned
The gods seem to like it and the umps are playing fair
It’s The Return
Now we’ve returned
We’re alright
