He was counting
down the days
Till he would
Finally return home.

Two long years away
returning with a plan
for a long stay
counting down the  days.

His clothes have been fitted.
His movements long now decided.
The programs are finally printed.
Counting down One Day More.

Forty-five minutes he now must wait.
To make his most glorious return.
The lights come up upon him.
His song has finally been sung.

The audience roared rising to their feet.
A glorious return has finally been achieved.
At long last returned to the stage.
Thunderous applause to "master of the house".
