Heading for Home

My face to the sky, my back to the wind Winter's 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 sea 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, the banner unfurled Yeah, gathering miles 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 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 'Til embers and ashes are born 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
