Lyrics:

Nazareth Sad to be alone Your only comfort is the telephone Homesick again Thoughts of far away Silence is the only way to say Ain't it a shame What's goin' down, she don't understand Can't you be with her every night Why must it be, you're away so long But she plays along, and it's alright People all around You don't see or hear them make a sound It's not the same What's goin' down, she don't understand Can't you be with her every night Why must it be, you're away so long But she plays along, and it's alright Countin' out the days That don't help to ease the days away The price you pay Homesick again (WORDS AND MUSIC BY NAZARETH) COPYRIGHT 1975 JENEVIEVE MUSIC (BMI)
