Call of Home

Across Tees and Tyne and Tweed I hear you call
Across seas of green and urbanscapes built on coal and steel


Goback, goback, I hear you call
to bridge of blue and riverside roar

Goback, goback, I hear you call
to stone walled dale and purple moor

Where we talked of youth and years apart
and dreamt of love and shooting stars

Transporter blue and Ayresome roar
we spent our youth by river and shore

Until we grew and fled the nest
and left our roots for pastures new

Goback, go back, I hear you call
to bridge of blue and riverside roar

Goback, go back, I hear you call
to stone walled dale and purple moor

Where we loved and lost but we never forgot
Our love of home and our Boro red
