1. Persephone

There's a light that shines on Persephone,
Always a fire in her eyes,
And the last time that I went to her
I could tell things weren't right.

I just don't care to see your years go wasting,
There's no longer magic in your eyes.

In your time, you could outshine everybody else around,
But your off-stage ways might be a bore -
You take a bow, you take a fall.

I just don't care to see your years go wasting,
There's no longer magic in your eyes.

I came to be here in the footlights,
To live with you through every song,
And your face displays a peaceful field.
I can't believe the curtain has to fall.

Now I know your years were never wasted,
Tonight I saw the magic in your eyes.

2. Hometown

I have traveled the line,
Held many hands on short holidays,
Made a lot of noise
In the strangest places far away.

Only for a day or two at a time,
I've been moving with the wind
On my side,
That puts me free and easy in my hometown.

I said I'd stay alive
I guess I didn't tell a lie.
I told you I'd come back again
And I'll say the same again next time.

I've been living for a day at a time
Movin' with the wind on my side.

You don't know how good it feels
I know I'll never want to go away.
You don't know how good it feels
To be with you again -
I know I'm comin' home to stay.

I'm sayin', it's nice to be back home
Among my friends.
It means a lot to me
And your love
It never ends.
