Day 471 - Day 106

“Lost and found and turned around by the fire in your eyes. I've seen your face a thousand times, everyday we've been apart”

Mama I’m Comin’ Home: Ozzy Osbourne, No More Tears

 

My roommate in college was a huge Ozzy fan. I didn’t really have a lot of songs of his that I would have called a favorite, but one winter day we decided to get out of town and get away for a drive. He popped this CD in as he had just bought it, and I was an instant fan. While there were many hits off of this album, this song I think stuck out to me the most.

 

I have always been one to want to leave home, fix and change things, and then come back home. It’s a common theme in a lot of the emotions that I express, and this is a dominant theme in this song. There is a great emotion behind Ozzy’s voice in this song, which I am convinced is either part of him coming out or a really fantastic producer. I can feel the emotion of having fire in the eyes of one looking toward me- of being so lost that you wanted to leave- after all that was exactly what we were doing.

 

When we got home, he received some very bad news- disturbing to say the least. I will never forget that cold, gray day. I was glad to be able to be there for him, but I know that it was a difficult challenge- and this song really helped heal us both in the moment.

Lyrics:

Times have changed and times are strange

Here I come but I ain't the same

Mama, I'm comin home

Times go by, seems to be

You could have been a better friend to me

Mama, I'm comin home

 

You took me in and you drove me out

Yeah, you had me hypnotized, yeah

Lost and found and turned around

By the fire in your eyes

 

You made me cry, you told me lies

But I can't stand to say goodbye

Mama, I'm comin home

I could be right, I could be wrong

It hurts so bad it's been so long

Mama, I'm comin home

 

Selfish love yeah we're both alone

The ride before the fall, yeah

But I'm gonna take this heart of stone

I just got to have it all

 

I've seen your face a hundred times

Everyday we've been apart

I don't care about the sunshine, yeah

'Cause mama, mama, I'm comin home

I'm comin home

I'm comin home

 

You took me in and you drove me out

Yeah, you had me hypnotized, yeah

Lost and found an turned around

By the fire in your eyes

 

I've seen your face a thousand times

Everyday we've been apart

I don't care about the sunshine, yeah

'Cause mama, mama, I'm comin home

I'm comin home

I'm comin home
