It's 9 o'clock, just got out
I'm here on this bus, goin' home
Not much to do, the traffic's slow
I'm tired, been a long day
I fall asleep and it moves without me
Moving through the darkness of the night
Wake, notice the people around me
See how things have changed, while asleep
Now fully awake, watch scenary change
Going forward, fully awake, fully aware
Now off of the bus, long hard struggle
Uphill, through the snow, the winter
Turn the corner, walk up the path
Push open the door, damn it's locked
Struggle to find the key, in pocket
Push open the door, at last, it's time
You're upstairs, waiting for me
I give a happy sigh and smile, for
I am home at last
