Through the shadows, dark as shame

I can still hear your voice falling down with the rain

Washing memories from the trees

'Till this road's covered over and lost in the leaves



Careless children, fresh as sin

I was your trouble and you were my friend

Sweet as rain on hallowed ground

And one endless summer that ended somehow



Heal the old wounds, lay me down

Take me home to hallowed ground

On the water, on the wind

Where the dream is born again

Oh, carry me home



I walked the long road 'till I found

Each step took me further from where I was bound

Bruised and broken in my soul

And longing for something that we used to know, oh



Heal the old wounds, lay me down

Take me home to hallowed ground

On the water, on the wind

Where the dream is born again

Oh, carry me home



We were chasing the gray wind

And wasting our days in the sun

But stand and deliver

And peace like a river will run



I walked the long road 'till I found

Each step took me further from where I was bound, oh



Heal the old wounds, lay me down

Take me home to hallowed ground

On the water, on the wind

Where the dream is born again, oh



Heal the old wounds, lay me down

Take me home to hallowed ground

On the water, on the wind

Where the dream is born again

Whoa, carry me home

Carry me home

Play the blues boy

Yeah, bring it on home

Whoa, yeah
