    [Cook Craig]
    This old dog's coming home to you
    Always return
    I'm on a round trip perpetual
    Always revolving
    It's habitual
    Eternal return, eternal return

    [Stu Mackenzie]
    It was a heavy dawn, this morn'
    The raining sky even mourned
    Your eyes - usually full of life - hiding tears not yet cried
    That smile from my child as I waved a brave goodbye
    Drippin' wet, I dream of future memories
    A life unfolds in front of me

    I worry which reality (reality) she would see
    Did I do it for her, or did I do it for me?
    As I compose myself emotionally, I have a vision of where she will be
    Pulling petals off a daisy
    Just don't forget I return eternally

    [Lucas Harwood, Cook Craig]
    Eternal (Eternal)
    (Return) Return
    Always (Always)
    On wing (On wing)
    Flying (Flying)
    Eternal return
    Eternal return

    [Ambrose Kenny-Smith]
    Although I'm in love with the long road (long road)
    Running from my limping shadow back home (back home)
    Sharp green leaves of laurel turn to gold in the Oregon fall
    Crimson rust, rising tide
    Sparkles in the Californian sun
    But I must admit I miss the sweet smell of gum leaves and the unpredictable, ever-changing, ever-seasonally

    [Joey Walker]
    We had our life on lock, oh yes we did (yes we did)
    There's more to it now than just leaving 'cause there's so much more to miss
    But now that you're here, it's harder and less clear
    But I guess distance needs a yardstick for real love to hit

    [Cook Craig]
    Which way is the right way down the yellow brick road of life? (Life)
    I'm tossing and turning between my time with a scarecrow and my tin man wife (wife)
    There's a monkey on my back and he's telling me this ain't a bushwhack (whack)
    Everywhere looks the same when you're looking through a magnifying glass in a small man's world

    [Joey Walker]
    But as your face is changing, I have to turn my back
    Please don't judge me for the sacrifice I make
    Fuck, I miss the smell hidden in your clothing
    I tell myself: don't worry, because I'll be coming back

    [Stu Mackenzie, Joey Walker]
    Do do do...
    This old dog's coming home to you
    Do do do... (Bow bow bow...)
    Always return, I'm on a round trip perpetual
    Do do do... (Bow bow bow...)
