Return to Ithaca Dub Lyrics

Familiar shores appear through misty haze

My weary heart with cautious hope ablaze

Disguise I wear, a king in beggar's guise

Observing all with calculating eyes

Ithaca (my home) I see you once again

But is this (the place) where my true self can mend

Long is the journey, (the price) I had to pay

Return is bitter,(oh lord) come what may

The palace walls, they stand so proud and tall

Yet strangers feast within my great hall

My faithful wife, beset by greedy men

A storm of change since I have been away then

Ithaca (my home) I see you once again

But is this (the place) where my true self can mend

Long is the journey, (the price) I had to pay

Return is bitter,(oh lord) come what may

Patience now, the moment is not right

To show myself and step into the light

I watch and wait, the pieces I will place

To reclaim what's mine with strength and with grace

Ithaca (my home) I see you once again

But is this (the place) where my true self can mend

Long is the journey, (the price) I had to pay

Return is bitter,(oh lord) come what may
