lyrics

Rusty old Town
built up on one side of the hard road
steel rails driven through Your heart

The rails still shake
but not like before
the train stops no more
just blows by with it’s freight

Dear Town, I’m so close to You
even when I’m miles away
years of cracks and bruises have left You broken and blue
but it’s You I see
when I look at me

Quiet main street
once bustling with blood
born in a cloud of coal dust

Still and grey
the mines below
empty and hollow
echo of the day

Dear Town, I’m so close to You
even when I’m miles away
deep ditches and crooked streets have kept You real and true
it’s You I see
when I look at me

You taught me how to stand alone
with hungry space for my dreams to grow

Sugar leaf tree
alive in the spring
lights the land in the fall

Branches quake
like reaching hands
the trunk still stands
rooted in place

I’m so very close to You, dear Town
even when I’m miles away
those who You love have kept You above the ground
and it’s You I see
when I look at me

I am Home
