It's Immaterial - Homecoming lyrics

Looking down from the night plane On rail yards and suburbs Manchester way, I'm coming home The same things always come true Like the summer rain And the same painted houses calls They seem to know your name And I say I know the world will never change And everything remains the same Through the eyes of a small town boy Ringway airport The planes landing The baggage carousel And the same taxi driver waits Waits to drive me home And I say I know the world will never change And everything remains the same Through the eyes of a small town boy If you can Please tell why it's so Why the hometown rain Can wash our cares away High above the clouds The coalfields and the foundries When you're looking down The shadows on the land It's all here And I say I know the world will never change And everything remains the same Through the eyes of a small town boy If you can Please tell why it's so Why the hometown rain Can wash our cares away The flags are flying to welcome home The small town boy who made the noise Coast to coast and over mountains The neon lights and factories shouting When you're high above the praising steeples Above one million people
