Goin' Home - Yo-Yo Ma & Kathryn Stott

My family called me on the phone and said "Grandpa would you come home?" We'd love to have you here on Christmas day We know you won't get on a plane But grandpa you can ride a train You can see the scenery along way" Going home for Christmas Coming on a train Got my big red knapsack loaded down Going home for Christmas Coming on a train Soon, I'll be rolling into town I know everybody there will be happy And they'd be down to meet me When they hear the whistle sound I know my one-horse stage will be waiting On the choo-choo bringing Santa Claus to town Going home for Christmas Coming on a train Got my big red knapsack loaded down Going home for Christmas Coming on a train Soon, I'll be rolling into town Going home for Christmas Coming on a train Got my big red knapsack loaded down Going home for Christmas Coming on a train Soon, I'll be rolling into town Going home for Christmas Hey, so good to see you all

I'm in the place you said you'd meet me I don't see you hanging 'round I'm goin' home But if that's all you ever tell me Seems you don't wanna be found I'm goin' home Don't come over, I can't get lower No more meeting, I've been beaten Got a blast of what I should be busy doing Guess I'm low I'm goin' home I wanna tell you that I miss you But I'm pissed, you blew me off I'm goin' home No more meeting, I've been beaten So go ahead fake it, I can't shake it I breath all alone I need, nothing I can do Vibes are poundin', tensions mountin' Wrapped around me, feelin' tight I'm goin' home But if you're castin' out some psycho You'll need me, tantrum, I won't bite I'm goin' home On a day that's burnin' this crazed Don't tempt me 'cause I might I'm goin' home If it's gonna be the last time Well, then maybe it's alright I'm goin' home But it's inside, go ahead, fight it Well, I've about had it, go ahead, grab it I can't take it, go ahead, fake it I breath all alone for you I need, and you know it's true I breath all alone for you I need, but nothing I can do And people tell me that you miss me And I guess I'm doin' fine
