Call You Home Sözleri

(Mark Erelli)

There are seven sisters weeping

Down by the old oxbow

As the coffee colored river

Swells with melting snow

Soon a bittersweet new season

Will turn the gray to green again

And I'll have to find a way

To say goodbye to you, my friend

CHORUS

I'm gonna miss you this I know

Though I'll be just another memory when I go

Will you forgive me all my sins

And gather me back in

Like the prodigal son no more to roam

Will you let me once again call you home

The sky is open like a chalice

All along the river road

Where the patchwork field tobacco barns

Shiver in the cold

I could drink it in for hours

And never take my fill

I tell myself that I'll forget

But I know I never will

(CHORUS)

The wild birds take their passage

Across the vernal sky

Like an arrow loosed from God's own bow

So swift and true they fly

Lord, draw me from your quiver

Take away my tears

Shoot me o'er the seven sisters

Somewhere far away from here
