Home

My face to the sky, my back to the wind

Winter's entering my bones

The day has been long and night's drawing in

And I'm thinking of heading for home

Yeah, I'm thinking of heading for home

The cradle and the grave, the fruit and the sea

The seasons mirror my own

The geese flying south are calling to me

And I'm thinking of heading for home

Yeah, I'm thinking of heading for home

Always on the move, the banner unfurled

Yeah, gathering miles on the stone

Oh, I sing for the children and cry for the world

And I'm thinking of heading for home

Yeah, I'm thinking of heading for home

As time's my old friend and death my new kin

I'm not taking this journey alone

I am old, I am young, I am all that I've been

And I'm thinking of heading for home

Yeah, I'm thinking of heading for home

The memory of love will burn in my heart

'Til embers and ashes are born

The light in your window is my northern star

And I'm thinking of heading for home

Yeah, I'm thinking of heading for home

And it's time I was heading for home

Yeah, it's time I was heading for home
