A stranger today in his first hometown
On old streets he often did walk up and down
When he was a teenager many Seasons ago
Long before time it did become his foe
Before the yearn to travel took him to elsewhere
To experience life in the big World out there
Back for a hometown visit after an absence of forty years
Though for the what was he has shed his last nostalgic tears
A grandfather in his late sixties he now feels out of place
Where his to many used to be a known face
Back in his hometown only for a brief stay
In a forthnight from now he will be on his way
Back to Australia to his family and wife
Where he will live until the end of his life.
