To the Homeland

[Verse 1]
The moon hangs full in the rain
The morning star shines your name
Poor children on the streets after dark
Crossing my heart to the homeland

[Verse 2]
Turnin' my back to the wind
Scratchin' time around my chin
Deep water flowing under the bridge
Crossing my heart to the homeland

[Chorus]
Sweet words have I heard from you
A steady love beyond the blue
I'm here and I'm ready if I'm able
Crossing my heart to the homeland

[Verse 3]
There's a silence in these hills
A lonesome road standing still
Miles and miles between us to fill
Crossing my heart to the homeland

[Chorus]
Sweet words have I heard from you
Oh, a steady love beyond the blue
I'm here and I'm ready if I'm able
Crossing my heart to the homeland

[Chorus]
Sweet words have I heard from you
Oh, a steady love beyond the blue
I am here and I'm ready if I'm able
Crossing my heart to the homeland
Oh, sweet words have I heard from you
Oh, a steady love beyond the blue
I'm here and I'm ready if I'm able
Crossing my heart to the homeland
Crossing my heart to the homeland
