A Home

CLICK HERE TO HEAR THE SONG


When I’m alone,

I look for a home.

When I’m home,

I want to be alone.


If I were a river,

I’d want to be a stone.

If I were a stone,

I'd feel that I'm alone.


Draw some lines,

Make up a map.

And hope to God, 

It's not a trap.


Sometimes I'm small,

Other times big.

I love a woman,

And she loves me.


My mind's made up,

I'm gonna settle down.

Choose a nice place,

Survey the ground.


Draw some lines,

Make up a map.

And hope to God,

It's not a trap.


I'll take a walk,

The desert is alive.

It looks to me, 

How I feel inside.


Hot in the sun,  

Cold in the moon.

Quiet at times, 

And dangerous too.  


I come to a mountain,

And start to climb.

Count every step,  

I leave behind.


To a new place,

With a broader view.

Approaching the edge,

To help me see you.


I won't be gone too long,

I won't be gone too long.

I feel like you're channeling Cat Stevens (Yusuf Islam) on this one! I like the simple, sparse lyrics. Your voice is sounding pretty good on this one, too.

I’ll take it! Cat Stevens is one of my favourite songwriters.
