Shadows of Home3

Verse

Soft wind carries a boy away,

Empty streets, no place to stay.

He left behind the gentle hands,

Crossed the sea to stranger lands.

Chorus

Oh, shadows of home, still calling me,

Across the dark and endless sea.

I drink the night, I sing alone,

My heart still aches for a place called home.

Verse

Children bloom, the years grow thin,

Lines on our faces, dreams wearing dim.

Beside my love, in quiet rooms,

We hide our tears from the silent moons.

Chorus

Oh, shadows of home, still calling me,

Across the dark and endless sea.

I drink the night, I sing alone,

My heart still aches for a place called home.

Bridge

No road back, yet I close my eyes,

See my village under fading skies.

I sing to the hills, I sing to the stream,

I sing to the boy I was in my dream.

Chorus

Oh, shadows of home, still calling me,

Across the dark and endless sea.

I drink the night, I sing alone,

My heart still aches for a place called home.
