[Pre-Chorus 1] Go downtown people runnin’ around They climb slowly draggin’ you downtown Horns make a dent in your mind Plush rooms make a blindin’ your eye to see blindin’ me [Chorus 1] Light lovely light Won’t ya’ shine in my window Love precious love Won’t ya’ fill ev’ry room Been too long on the road. [Interlude] [Verse 2] Maybe cynics veins are my life blood Maybe bitin’ the hand that I feed So I’ll try Try to understand What it is that devours your freedom Makes you drop what you used to hold In your head All the things you planned. [Pre-Chorus 2] Go upstairs with a someone who says she cares Like the devil she does What comes ever into your mind Then gone leavin’ you with the coldest room oldest gloom. [Chorus 2] Warm won’t you be Please be there in my winter Love precious love Won’t ya’ come full circle Been too long on the road. [Interlude] [Bridge] Am Fma7 How can I do this to myself? Am Fma7 Have I taken leave of my senses? Am Fma7 What kind of changes make a man Am Fma7 Want to tear down all his fences Whoa I’d like to know. [Chorus 3] Home ever home How could I ever doubt you Love precious love How could I live without you? Been too long on the road. [Outro]

Cette chanson évoque un sentiment de désillusion et de quête de sens après avoir passé trop de temps sur la route, loin de chez soi. Le narrateur, bien qu'accusé d'avoir tout ce qu'il désire, ressent un vide et une confusion intérieure, se demandant comment il en est arrivé là. Entre les distractions de la vie urbaine et les relations superficielles, il se demande ce qu'il a sacrifié pour cette illusion de réussite. Le contexte de cette époque, marqué par un désir de liberté et des remises en question des valeurs sociales, résonne avec cette introspection. Il y a une recherche d'authenticité et d'amour véritable, comme une réponse à ce sentiment d'errance. La chanson manifeste ainsi une lutte intérieure pour retrouver ce qui est essentiel, en réalisant que le vrai bonheur et la paix se trouvent souvent dans les choses simples et familières.
