Home Is a Song Songtext
von Mary Chapin Carpenter & Anaïs Mitchell

Love is a language, time is a thief
Hope is a lantern, breath is relief
Memory is water pooled in your palm
Home is a song

Twilight′s a whisper, night is a chord
Grudges are poison, anger's a sword
Beauty′s a feeling you feel coming on
Home is a song

I keep singing like birds in the morning
I keep listening to the wind in the trees
I keep wondering where am I going
And who will I be


Rain is a teardrop, envy's a thorn
A friend is a lifeboat when lonely is a storm
A ghost is a shadow that's here then it′s gone
And home is a song

I keep singing like birds in the morning
I keep listening to the wind in the trees
I keep wondering where am I going
And who will I be

A heart is a traveler, a soul is a wing
Calling all passengers wanting to sing
One day we′ll arrive where we belong
Where home is a song

When we arrive where we belong
Home is a song
