H Avenue
Journey Back to H Avenue: A Nostalgic Tale of Homecoming
Lyrics
Long ago
Reflecting on a distant past
I left all I knew
Left behind everything familiar
All that knew me
Abandoned by those who knew the person
Along the way
Throughout the journey
The best I could do
Did the best one could, but faced consequences
Would undo me
Efforts led to self-harm or negative outcomes
Here I am
Presently in a challenging situation
Dying to get back home
Eager to return home
To the meadows on H Avenue
Refers to a specific location, "H Avenue"
Catching fireflies past ten
Recalling childhood activities
Barefoot in a sundress
Describing a carefree and innocent time
Oh, to feel that safe again
Longing for the feeling of safety
Where Daddy worked 'til suppertime
Memories of parental involvement
And Mama tucked us in
Routine of being cared for before sleep
I'd give anything-
Expressing a strong desire
Anything to find home again
Reiterating the longing for home
Friday night
Recollection of a social gathering
Friends on every side
Surrounded by friends
Held me close, then
Embraced closely by friends
I drove away
Departing from the gathering
Tears filling my eyes
Tears welling up in the eyes
All alone again
Feeling isolated once again
There I was
Past experiences of longing to return home
Dying to get back home
Again, eager to return home
To the meadows on H Avenue
Repeating the desire for "H Avenue"
Catching fireflies past ten
Nostalgic activities of catching fireflies
Barefoot in a sundress
Describing a carefree and innocent time (repeated)
Oh, to feel that safe again
Longing for the feeling of safety (repeated)
Where Daddy worked 'til suppertime
Memories of parental involvement (repeated)
And Mama tucked us in
Routine of being cared for before sleep (repeated)
I'd give anything-
Expressing a strong desire (repeated)
Anything to find home
Reiterating the longing for home (repeated)
Now I'm up on Hogan
Shifting to a different location, "Hogan"
You could say livin' the dream
Present situation is not as ideal as it seems
But it's nothing like it was
Contrasting the current situation with the past
When my parents carried me
Recalling a time when parents provided support
H Avenue, I miss you
Expressing a longing for "H Avenue" (repeated)
Will you find me once again
Seeking a reunion with the past
Oh, find me once again
Repeating the desire for reunion (repeated)
Where Daddy worked 'til suppertime
Recalling parental routines (repeated)
And Mama tucked us in
Routine of being cared for before sleep (repeated)
Barefoot in a sundress
Describing a carefree and innocent time (repeated)
Oh, to feel that safe again
Longing for the feeling of safety (repeated)
