Lyrics Derek Ryan – Welcome Home (The Gathering)

Drop them tools the time has come
Shut up shop we’re on the run
Here we work our trade but home still has our hearts
I swapped my cat for kangaroo

So mama put the kettle on daddy’s fire burning strong
Welcome back your boys to the emerald isle
And we’ll push back the kitchen chairs
Dance the night away without a care
We’re coming home home home for the gathering

Our bags are packed we’re on our way
In the air for a day
Every mile is worth it just to see you smile
Call the neighbours let them know
We’re in town for another show
It’s great to see you all again if only for a while

So mama put the kettle on daddy’s fire burning strong
Welcome back your boys to the emerald isle
And we’ll push back the kitchen chairs
Dance the night away without a care
We’re coming home home home for the gathering

So mama put the kettle on daddy’s fire burning strong
Welcome back your boys to the emerald isle
And we’ll push back the kitchen chairs
Dance the night away without a care
‘Cos we’re coming home home home
We’re coming home home home
Yes we’re home home home for the gathering

Oh we’re home is everybody ready to sing ah one two
