lyrics

Please pardon me if you don't understand
I've been living in a place called metaphor land
Where dreams are born and visions are grand
And I am home

Can I take you for a ride on my conscience stream
Where the colours of the rainbow infect my dreams
Where everything is not what it seems
But I am home

It's a magical place in Metaphor
Where illusions drift onto the shore
And I always discover what my life is for
Cos I am home

We could follow the silver lines around every cloud
Where light and darkness have their battleground
And noiseless thoughts make a cacophonous sound
And I am home

So please don't ask me to come back to earth
Cos everything there has to have some worth
And I have everything I need in my purse
And I am home

It's a magical place in Metaphor
Where illusions drift onto the shore
And I always discover what my life is for
Cos I am home

So please don't correct me if I am wrong
There are no rules where I belong
Just impossible dreams of this writer's song
Oh I am home

So please don't worry when I don't answer the phone
I often love love to be alone
Where Metaphor calls me to come back home
Metaphorically speaking

It's a magical place in Metaphor
Where illusions drift onto the shore
And I always discover what my life is for
Cos I am home

It's a magical place in Metaphor
Where illusions drift onto the shore
And I always discover what my life is for
And I am home
