lyrics

I can't stay in these diggings long,
Few days, few days,
I can't stay in these diggings long,
And I am going home.

I'll peg my ship on this campground,
Few days, few days,
To give my demons one more round,
And I am going home.

From sun to sun, I'm made to tread,
Few days, few days,
The open sky my only bed,
And I am going home.

How little did my mother dream,
Few days, few days,
That I would sail on time's long stream,
And I am going home.

The world I knew is ages gone,
Few days, few days,
And I must keep on keeping on,
And I am going home.

I can't stay in these diggings long,
Few days, few days,
I can't stay in these diggings long,
And I am going home.

All others to their loves may cling,
Few days, few days,
But I must wander, learn, and sing,
And I am going home.

There is no world can hold me long,
Few days, few days,
Till every world has heard my song,
And I am going home.

The gods who made those stars my track,
Few days, few days,
Have laid their burden on my back,
And I am going home.

Of all the worlds and times I know,
Few days, few days,
I'll sing the truth before I go,
And I am going home.

My sky is bound by spinning stars,
Few days, few days,
The cruelest prison has no bars,
And I am going home.
