about

A troubled patient returns to the fold and discharge planning starts all over again...

lyrics

Going back to Silver Meadows my former years were there
Past the quarry where your brother worked the other year
In the clearing ‘neath the open skies on the edge of town Climbing trees and scraping knees as the big fat orange sun went down

The outreach worker greets us with a new brochure to read
I tell them I’ll be good this time and I’ll stay until its time to leave

Going back to Silver Meadows same old faces working there
Stan the caretaker still smiling and Jenny she cuts your hair
I lived here when I when young and I felt safe n sound
Falling asleep beneath a big fat Disney eiderdown

But when they ask me how I’ve been I tell them not so good
They say we understand but then of course I knew they would

Going back to Silver Meadows it’s got a weird hold on me
Doctor Marshall says I need structure and clear boundaries
So I take the medication and as I report for therapy
I know it’s going to take a little while before the others warm to me

I recognize a girl I knew from the last time I was here
She smiles and says come in sit down there’s nothing for you to fear

Going back to Silver Meadows
Going home to Silver Meadows
I believe in Silver Meadows
I belong at Silver meadows

Going back
I’m going back
Going back to Silver Meadows….
