Standing in the airport lounge,
going back to my homeland
Life has sure been lonely
in this land across the sea
And now my heart is yearning
for the place I long to be
So take me home, sweet home,
to that cottage back in my land
and daddy by the fireside
Where the smell of home cooking
just takes the breath from me
Take me home, sweet home,
to that cottage by the sea
We had no TV, electric light,
in that special kind of way
I decided for it to stray
But take me home, sweet home,
to that cottage back in my land
and daddy by the fireside
Where the smell of home cooking
just takes the breath from me
Take me home, sweet home,
to that cottage by the sea
And see the tall dark stranger
I'll put my arms around my mom
and shake my father's hand
in my cottage by the strand
So take me home, sweet home,
to that cottage back in my land
and daddy by the fireside
just takes the breath of me
Take me home, sweet home,
to that cottage by the sea
Just take me home, sweet home,
to that cottage by the sea
