Can I Come Home Now

(Words & Music by Barris/Gerlach/Hartmann)

Once I had a restless heart
that carried me away
nothing in that Northern town
was going to make me stay

I traveled farther than I dared
took every dream I had
now all I’ve got is a weary soul
longing to go back

Down the road that I know
to the bridge, across the water
these feet have walked a thousand miles
but never touched the ground
bring me in, hold me close
love me like your long lost daughter
I’ve been all around this world
can I come home now

I may not find a pot of gold
or reach the promised land
But they don’t shine as bright to me
now from where I stand

All I want is to lay my head
where the roots run deep
every night I close my eyes
and go there in my dreams

Down the road that I know
to the bridge, across the water
these feet have walked a thousand miles
but never touched the ground
bring me in, hold me close
love me like your long lost daughter
I’ve been all around this world
can I come home now
