[ADAM] All that I had to give, I gave that boy Once he was young and once he brought my heart such joy He'd ride my shoulders and 'cross the fields we'd roam I still can see those moments like yesterday I was a fool to think they'd make him want to stay At home [YOUNG CAIN AND ABEL] One two three Owls are in the tree Four five six Foxes in the sticks Six five four Goslings on the shore Three two one Now we all go home One two three Owls are in the tree Four five six Foxes in the sticks Six five four Goslings on the shore Three two one Now we all go home [ADAM] It's time to make a home Heaven knows the life's been hard Summers brief and arid Winters bleak and numb Look what we call home These old walls are stained and scarred [EVE] I can still remember What each scar was from [ADAM] You could call it run down [EVE] Worn out [ADAM] Threadbare [BOTH] And I guess you'd come Close to home Close to home [ADAM] And I remember, in someone else's garden long ago We had all we could eat [EVE] But it seems the fruit our own hands grow Somehow tastes twice as sweet [ABEL] Six five four Goslings on the shore Three two one Now we all go home [ADAM] On this barren plot [ABEL] One two three Owls are in the tree [ADAM] We'll plant our wheat and dig our well [ABEL] Four five six Foxes in the sticks [ADAM] And we'll be a family [ABEL] Six five four Goslings on the shore [ADAM] Steady as a star [EVE] Look at what we've got [ADAM AND ABEL] Ba ba bum, ba ba ba ba bum [EVE] Only what we've made ourselves [ADAM AND ABEL] Eight nine ten, now we start again [EVE] Though it's next to nothing Look how rich we are [ADAM] Funny now how Eden doesn't seem so far [ADAM AND EVE] Come sit besides me in the dying light What storms the morning brings, we'll weather all right Your hand in my hand And as we sit here, huddled in the gloom Paradise seems strangely close Close to home [ABEL] Ba ba bum, ba ba ba ba bum [ADAM AND EVE] Close to home [ABEL] Three two one Now we all go [ADAM, EVE, AND ABEL] Home
