Homeward Bound Songtext
von Peter Hollens

In the quiet misty morning
When the moon has gone to bed
When the sparrows stop their singing
And the sky is clear and red

When the summer′s ceased its gleaming
When the corn is past its prime
When adventure's lost its meaning
I′ll be homeward bound in time

Bind me not to the pasture
Chain me not to the plow
Set me free to find my calling
And I'll return to you somehow

If you find it's me you′re missing
If you′re hoping I'll return
To your thoughts I′ll soon be list'ning
In the road I′ll stop and turn


Then the wind will set me racing
As my journey nears its end
And the path I'll be retracing
As I′m homeward bound again

Bind me not to the pasture
Chain me not to the plow
Set me free to find my calling
And I'll return to you somehow

Bind me not to the pasture
Chain me not to the plow
Set me free to find my calling
And I'll return to you somehow

In the quiet misty morning
When the moon has gone to bed
When the sparrows stop their singing
And the sky is clear and red

When the summer′s ceased its gleaming
When the corn is past its prime
When adventure′s lost its meaning
I'll be homeward bound in time
