My face to the sky, my back to the wind Winter is entering my bones The day has been long and night´s drawing in And I´m thinking of heading for home
Yeah, I´m thinking of heading for home
The cradle and the grave, the fruit and the seed The seasons mirror my own The geese flying south are calling to me And I´m thinking of heading for home Yeah, I´m thinking of heading for home
Always on the move with banner unfurled Yet gathering moss on the stone Oh, I sing for the children and cry for the world And I´m thinking of heading for home Yeah, I´m thinking of heading for home
As time´s my old friend and death´s my new kin
I´m not taking this journey alone I am old, I am young, I am all that I´ve been And I´m thinking of heading for home Yeah, I´m thinking of heading for home
The memory of love will burn in my heart Till embers and ashes are gone The light in your window is my northern star And I´m thinking of heading for home Yeah, I´m thinking of heading for home
And it´s time I was heading for home Yeah, it´s time I was heading for home
