I'm Going Home

On the day I went away (goodbye)
Was all I had to say (now I)
Want to come again and stay (oh my)
Smile and that will mean I may

Cause I've seen blue skies
Through the tears in my eyes
And I realize
I'm Going Home

Everywhere it's been the same (feeling)
Like I'm outside in the rain (reeling)
Free to try and find the game (dealing)
Cards for sorrow, cards for pain

Cause I've seen blue skies
Through the tears in my eyes
And I realize
I'm Going Home
I'm Going Home
I'm Going Home
(repeat)

 

About the Song: What needs to be said? It's Frank's swan song... a vain attempt to convince Riff not to kill him. (fails every week, too) The thing I like most about the song is the use of the backup chorus to push the song along. I listened to it for years before I actually noticed what they were saying. But then, that's very common for O'Brien. The tune is so catchy, you rarely stop to consider the rest of it. Appearances: The Rocky Horror (Picture) Show, 1973 Approximate date of creation: 1973
