[Verse 1: Grant McLennan] I recall a schoolboy coming home Through fields of cane to a house of tin and timber And in the sky, a rain of falling cinders From time to time the waste, memory wastes
[Verse 2: Grant McLennan] I recall a boy in bigger pants Like everyone just waiting for a chance His father's watch he left it in the showers From time to time the waste, memory wastes And the waste, memory wastes
[Verse 3: Grant McLennan] I recall a bigger brighter world A world of books and silent times in thought And then the railroad, the railroad takes him home Through fields of cattle, through fields of cane From time to time the waste, memory wastes And the waste, memory wastes
[Verse 4: Robert Forster] I recall the same, a reply A plan you once had, from time down to mind That time was bad, so I knew where I was Alone, and so at home
