NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT by Kieran Halpin

I've been too long away from your loving,
Too long with my back to the wall.
I've been to some far-away places
With nothing to show for it all.

CHORUS: I've been too long away from this country,
Too long not heeding your call.
Now I'm home like some war-weary soldier
With nothing to show for it all.

I've been to their sites and showcases.
I've been through their strong city halls--
Men with black suits and cold(?) faces
And nothing to show for it all.

CHORUS

I've taken the jibe and the jester.
I laughed at the joke through it all.
He said: "Get back to the place where you came from.
You've got nothing to give after all."

CHORUS

TAG: Breathe easy; there's someone there waiting,
Someone who cares after all.
