On a cold and early morning back in 1973
I laid my best friend to rest down by the willow tree
Together we'd go roaming thru the fields down to the bay
And tear across those tide flats yea you could call us strays stayin' away
But we made it home...we made it home
Stayed away most of the day but we always made it home
We made it home...we made it home
In the fading light brought on by the night
We always made it home..coming home
In a far and distant land
On a trek up to the sky
I turned some weathered prayer wheels
As I was passing by
And with each labored turn I could hear those prayer wheels sayin'
Thoughts of home coming to me far far away so far away
But I made it home...I made it home
10,000 miles between us and I still made it home
I made it home...I made it home
In the fading light brought by night
Always made it home ...coming home
It's a longing place to be alone when your off and far away
When the world around wants to trip you up before you live another day
But home is home no matter where you're from and that sticks into your bones
It's that sense of place that give your grace...that old familiar ground
It's a long and crooked road
And The Piper must be paid
So we do our best to past life's test and try to love along the way
But when that old crow comes to call our weary name
And we lay down one last time out of the pouring rain
With the ones we love beside us to help us push on thru
To the mystery that lies ahead
I can only hope it feels like Home
Coming home coming home
10,000 miles away I'm coming home
Coming home I'm coming home
In the fading light brought on by night
I'm coming home...Lord take me home
