Carry Me Home

Song #460 |   11/27/2012 | CD: Home Across The Sea

I was found in the forest where the moss grows deep
I was singing in the chorus where the wild willows weep
I needed you save me from my own regret
So I took the strength you gave me and I ran with it

Refrain:

Carry me home across the river. Carry me home across the sea
Carry me home to my forgiver and set me free
Carry me home across the river. Carry me home across the sea
Carry me home to my forgiver and set me free

“Untangle me from attachments” begged the kite up in the tree
“Release me from distractions” buzzed the bumble bee
“My love is a flower and I have no enemies…”
Sang the Monarch butterfly to the southbound breeze

Refrain:

“I’m lonely, yes I’m lonely,” whined the porcupine
“if only you would hold me I’d be forever thine”
The Queen Ann’s Lace was dazzling in the morning dew
As she whispered, “all the world’s alive and it calls to you…”

Refrain::

I was lost in the city where shiny people live
I was drowning in self pity because I’d forgotten how to give
I was asking for directions I was begging for a chance
When you shattered my self-reflection and taught me how to dance

Refrain:
