I quit my job on a Friday
Told all my friends it's goodbye, hey
Within a week I was flyin' across the sea
To where I'm meant to be
Everything felt like a failure
I'd had enough of Australia
That grass is greener philosophy
Had a hold on me

But the Southern Cross is in the sky
As I close my tired eyes
When I wake, I will be home again, home again

She said that we were connected (oh)
I don't know what I expected (oh)
Maybe I hoped she could rescue me from everything
Now I'm there again

But the Southern Cross is in the sky
As I close my tired eyes
When I wake, I will be home again, home again
But the Southern Cross is in the sky
As I close my tired eyes
When I wake, I will be home again, home again
Home again, home again
Home again

I often wonder at night
Could I have stayed there to fight for it?
But there's no sense in denyin'
I was all alone, now I'm comin' home
Everything right where I left it
I don't know what I expected
She said that we were connected

And the Southern Cross is in the sky
As I close my tired eyes
When I wake, I will be home again, home again
Yeah, the Southern Cross is in the sky
As I close my tired eyes
When I wake, I will be home again, home again
Home again, home again
Home again
