home

twilight dogs begin to bark
I know they feel me here hiding in the park
their people lock their doors – leave me to the dark
I am home, I am home, I am home

seems like a thousand years of night
I hide and stay awake – waiting for the light
when the world has gone to sleep, I know that it’s alright
I go home, I go home, I go home

to my empire of sleep
my empire of sleep
while I’m gone, I pray my soul to keep

on a rainy overpass
the freeway stretches out – a shiny sea of glass
I close my eyes and feel the waves as they come crashing past
I go home, I go home, I go home

to my empire of sleep
my empire of sleep
my empire of sleep
