Story behind the song
I was thinking about my childhood home, wondering who, if anyone, was living there now, eating in our kitchen, sleeping in my bedroom, wondering if they have a piano in the sun parlor. I'll never know and it reminded me that you can never really go home again.
Lyrics
BACK HOME ©Ricki E. Bellos Sunday dinner in the air All the relatives are there Mom and Dad, Gram and Grandpa too Family never meant so much Until you couldn’t feel their touch Only empty chairs wait for you It’s so hard to go on When all your bridges are gone You’d give anything to get back home Your old room looks the same As the day you ran away You lay your hands upon the wall There are so many memories here You felt something you swear But there’s no soul left here at all It’s so hard to go on When all your bridges are gone You’d give anything to get back home Even now you reach for them You try again and again Remembering when you first drove off Watched in the mirror until the bend It’s so hard to go on When all your bridges are gone You’d give anything to get back home It’s so hard to go on When all your bridges are gone You’d give anything to get back home

Hi Ricki.....Your get back home song...is really touching me right now. I sat at my Mom in law's home last night....She is 88 and just lost her daughter this year....and Sister... the year before...and on and on...and though we tried to cheer her up.....she was feeling the emptiness of chairs at the table ........so your song really grabbed me. My own Mom will be 89 in January...and that realization hits me hard... Felt your song big time. If you were playing out...I would listen...so am surprised you feel you're not a performer. Keep singing. best... Kaley

Dear Ricki, You are very subtle and sweet throughout your songs. The lyrics are excellent and I could've listened all night. There is abit of Carol King within you that is very attractive and easy to the ears. I like what you do very very much and do sincerely wish you and your music the absolute best of luck. I truly like your oneness and the heart by which you appear to wear on your sleeve. There is much beauty within you that desires to be shared and after listening to the first three songs,, wow, wonderful pictures. Your Friend, BOB
