Welcome Back

It was the summer of my discontent

It was the ball of a lifetime

It was the winter of my 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

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

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

Move on landward, [? ] bound

'Til you land on solid ground

INSTRUMENTAL

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

Welcome back

Welcome back

Welcome back

Welcome back
