"Called Home" lyrics
"Called Home"
Just shy of breakin' down
There's a bend in the road that I have found
Called home
Take a left at loneliness
There's a place to find forgiveness
Called home
The clouds adrift across the sky
Like heaven's laundry hung to dry
You slowly feel it all will be revealed
Where evening shadows come to fall
On the awful and the beautiful
Every wound you feel that needs to heal
Silence yearns to hear herself
Some long lost memory rings a bell
Called home
Old pre-civil war brick house
Standin' tall and straight somehow
Called home
Mailbox full of weariness
And a word of hard won happiness
Called home
Leave behind your Sunday best
You know we couldn't care less
Out here we've learned to leave the edges wild
And stories they get passed around
And laughter – it gets handed down
Read it in the lines around a smile
Our bodies' motion comes to rest
When we are at last
Called home
Called home
Called home

Viva Mexico
My eyes just won't stay open
And I dream a dream of home

Where there's coffee on the table

Honey I'll help you...

I was scared, but I kept real quiet
Shadows on the walls moving in on me
Underneath my sheets I could barely breathe
Your room was only just across the hall

The Secret Sisters - "Healer In The Sky" I looked at you from the patio
Slidin' down the hill in the winter snow

When the towers gave way
NY had her heart broke

Many heroes died
Trying to save someone inside
When NY had her heart broke

And I was...
