Home, home again
I like to be there when I can
When I come in cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells
hehe, there you go
also i didn't know it was about syd barret, tho i believe shine on you crazy diamond referes to him.
in a general sense, to me, the song is about how time pares and we get older and theres a general message to make the most of it and try not to waste it, cause really we don't have that long...
