Homesong

Sunlight through the trees Clouds muster in the distance An outline of a dream Marked out on the chalkhills Bluebells in the woods Butterflies and hedgerows Flowers colouring the green Willows dipping in the water The riverbank is firm beneath your feet The ground is strong, the water running deep Tea and history Kites above the castle The running hare at speed On the open field Out there on the hills The sound of distant church bells Carried with the breeze A song to call you home Voyages are ended Journeys done Comes over one The need to get back home The riverbank is firm beneath your feet Follow it upstream to where the headwaters flow We are home now We have found a way back home
