I’m in the kitchen while you smoke outside
You’re careful not to let the smoke inside
I always tell you it’s poison
But I know it helps you take the edge off the day

We get a drink before it’s closing time
The one on high street with the blinking sign
All of these memories feel poignant
I won’t be there to see the snow melt away

Oh, yeah, I’ve been gone on business
I’ve gotta make some money
I really feel the distance

And I quite miss home
And I miss you telling me
To leave my shoes at the door
‘Cos you just swept the floor and the dirt drives you crazy
Yeah, I quite miss home
‘Cos it feels like poetry
When the rain falls down on the window
While you’re in my arms and we’re watching the TV
Yeah, I quite miss home
Yeah, I quite miss home

I smell you cooking from the living room
And then I tell you that I love your food
I know it doesn’t come easy
But you know it reminds me where I’m from

Oh, I’m in another city
I got nobody with me
And it just really hit me

That I quite miss home
And I miss you telling me
To leave my shoes at the door
‘Cos you just swept the floor and the dirt drives you crazy
Yeah I quite miss home
‘Cos it feels like poetry
And the rain falls down on the window
While you’re in my arms and we’re watching the TV
Yeah, I quite miss home
Yeah, I quite miss home

And I quite miss home
Yeah I missed you telling me
To leave my shoes at the door
‘Cos you just swept the floor and the dirt drives you crazy
Oh, I just miss home
‘Cos it feels like poetry
As the rain falls down on the window
While you’re in my arms and we’re watching the TV

Oh, I miss home, yeah, I quite miss home
Oh, I miss home, yeah, I quite miss home
