To the Homeland Lyrics

To The Homeland

The moon hangs full in the rain
The mornin' star shines your name
Poor children on the streets after dark
Crossin' my heart to the homeland

Turnin' my back to the wind
Scratchin' time around my chin
Deep water frozen under the bridge
Crossin' my heart to the homeland

Sweet words have I heard from you
A steady love beyond the blues
Ready waitin' if I'm able
Crossin' my heart to the homeland

There's a silence in the hills
A lonesome road standin' still
Miles and miles between us to fill
Crossin' my heart to the homeland

Crossin' my heart to the homeland
