Lyrics for Distant Shore

Everyone knows that there's no place like home But I'm just seeking refuge in a world full of storms Washed up on a distant shore, can't go home anymore The natives are hostile whatever I say The thing they feel most is that I might want to stay By their side on a distant shore can't go home anymore I escaped my tormentors by crossing the sea What I cannot escape is memory Washed up on a distant shore can't go home anymore
