Welcome Back Lyrics

INTRO: C G F (4x)
It was the summer of my discontent
It was the ball of a lifetime
It was the winter of my (penny ?) absence
Waiting on the springtime
Well, there was dark sackcloth and ashes
For a couple-a years
I took my licks and my hundred lashes
I cried a bundle of tears
CHORUS:
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'll just zoom on my way
Well, I was bent, but I was not broken
I was sinking, but I could not drown
I was reeling, but I was still hoping
I could be lost and found
Well, I was temporarily disconnected
In my state of disrepair
Disoriented and dejected
I had to climb out of there
CHORUS:
Well, that distant shore's forever out of reach
Before you know it, you're washed up on the beach
And then, you're welcome back
It was a pretty dark day
And now the sun is shining, welcome back
I'll just zoom on my way
BRIDGE:
Move on landward, ( ? ) bound
'Til you land on solid ground
INSTRUMENTAL: C G F (4x)
Welcome back
It was a pretty dark day
And now the sun is shining, welcome back
I'll just zoom on my way
Now everybody sing, 'Welcome back'
It was a pretty dark day
Hard times in Babylon, welcome back
I'll just zoom on my way
OUTRO: (## fade to end ##)
Welcome back
Welcome back
Welcome back
Welcome back
