DERBY

The city i was born in, moved away from but wanting to return

How far will I be till I miss Derby

Maybe a mile

Maybe more

 

Its old, cold but it has a hold

I moved across the Earth

it is comfortable to live there

but I still feel bare

 

family, your all so sweet

its not long till again we meet

 

How far will I be till I  miss Derby

In the car

or on Jupiter

 

Life there is so fun

being so far makes me numb

 

Taking the Arriva

on top deck

everything looks like a fleck

 

The fun times

the cheap buys

oh how time flies

 

How far will I be till I miss Derby

 

The answer is clear

I just want to be near

being out of town

being out of country

its just not for me

 

Derby im coming home

time to give this dog a bone

 

My mother on the phone

shes weeping just thinking

babies coming home she can't stop beaming

 

So not far is how far I will miss Derby.
