She moves like the wind and she moves like the sea
He's afraid that she'll leave him behind
Beached like a whale when the tide runs out
Blown like the dream in his mind

David:
Turn on the lights, open the windows
Water the plants and get the mail
We are home from a long vacation
Isn't it good to be home

Pullout the shampoo, soap and toothbrushes
Put on a record and toss me a beer
I'll go and see if the toilet still flushes ...Dear

Isn't it good to come home when you've traveled
Putting your feet on a friendly old floor
Saying hello to the furniture sweetly
Putting your key in the door...

J: Josh is in love with a dancer
A candle in love with a flame
He's starting to melt, he's afraid he'll get burned
And he's not even sure of her name
He would like to go over and ask her
If there's room in her world for romance
And maybe what Is she doing the rest of her life
But he can't even ask her to dance

She moves like the wind and she moves like the sea
He's afraid that she'll leave him behind
Beached like a whale when the tide runs out
Blown like the dream in his mind

D: How do you like that, we have some new roaches
Putting away all the food we left out
And I hear the Yankees have fired their coaches
Isn't it good to be home

Put all the clothes in a pile for the laundry
Pullout the stamps and pay the bi 115,
Ask Raphael to fix the shower
Oh I really hope that he will

J: Go on take her out on the floor
What did you come here for
But to be loose and free in the night
Maybe you're not Fred Astaire
Baby, what does she care
Maybe Josh by himself is all right
Oh Josh, by yourself you're all right
You're not listening

D: Gotta find out what my friends have been doing
Josh is in love with a dancer, I hear,
Barbara is working, vacation for Susan,
Oh, it really seems like years since we've been home
There goes the phone,
It's Mr. Luger, saying he's sorry and raising my rent
I never blame him, his wife is behind it
She thinks our money is sent from heaven

We don't care, we've had a vacation,
Slept in our tent, counted the stars
Rested our weary minds from this city,
Strengthened our hearts

J: She moved like the wind and she moved like the sea
She moved off and left him behind
Beached like a whale when the tide runs out
Blown like the dream in his mind

Both:
Beached like a whale when the tide runs out
Blown like the dream in his mind

Turn on the lights, open the windows
Water the plants and get the mail
We are home from a long vacation
Isn't it good to be home
to be home
to be home
