My familiar, glad to see you Shiny new umbrella in the rain my sun If I could lay this hammer down Say goodbye and let that big jet airplane carry me home Let that big jet airplane carry me
My familiar comes Chasing shadows in the morning light And I would stay inside with you forever If I could
My familiar, recognition Is the sweetest consolation in the world I know If I could lay this hammer down Say goodbye and let that cold black water carry me home Let that cold black water carry me
If I could lay this hammer down If I could lay this hammer down If I could lay this hammer down I'd carry me away
My familiar comes Passing glances in the windows on the highway My familiar, my son Shine a light and raise your arms 'Cause daddy's coming home
