Welcome Back Songtext
von Eliza Gilkyson

It was the summer of my discontent
It was the fall of a lifetime
It was the winter of my penitence
Waiting on the springtime

Well, it was dark sackcloth and ashes
For a couple o′ years
I took my licks and my hundred lashes
I cried a bundle of tears

Well, that distant shore's forever out of reach
Before you know it, you′re washed up on the beach

And yet, you're welcome back
It was a pretty dark day
And now the sun is shining, welcome back
I guess I'm on my way

Well, I was bent, but I was not broken
I was sinking, but I did not drown
I was reeling, but I was still hoping
I could be lost and found


Well, I was temporarily disconnected
In a state of disrepair
Disoriented and dejected
I had to climb out of there

Well, that distant shore′s forever out of reach
Before you know it, you′re washed up on the beach

And it's welcome back
It was a pretty dark day
And now the sun is shining, welcome back
I guess I′m on my way

Through the labyrinth and down
'Til you land on solid ground

Welcome back
It was a pretty dark day
And now the sun is shining, welcome back
I guess I′m on my way

Now everybody sing, 'Welcome back′
It was a pretty dark day
Hard times in Babylon, welcome back
I guess I'm on my way


Welcome back
Welcome back
Welcome back
Welcome back
