About
Southern Country song about a timeless place and Tree we called Home where old friends gathered every year
Lyrics
Verse 1
Down a long winding trail where the tall grass leans
Past the bend at Grilles Point where the air runs clean
There's an old oak standin' with her branches spread wide
They call her the Home Tree where the quiet still resides
Verse 2
She's been watchin' every sunrise for a hundred years or more
Rooted deep in the spicewood where the hills touch shore
If you sit beneath her shade while the daylight moves through
You can feel her spirit whisper pullin' light into you
Chorus
Home Tree, carry me
Where the wild winds sing in harmony
Let the old roots rise and the soft leaves sway
Guide my restless heart where the stillness stays
Verse 3
Every traveler who finds her feels a tremble in the soul
Like a story from the ages softly takin' hold
And the lake out past the timber sends a shimmer through the breeze
As the Home Tree hums her memory in a quiet melody
Final Chorus
Home Tree, carry me
Where the wild winds sing in harmony
Let the old roots rise and the soft leaves sway
Awaken what's asleep in the light of day
Outro
Stay awhile and you'll feel it too
Her spirit movin' right on through
Awakening the light inside of you
Chorus
Home Tree carry me
Where the wild winds sing in harmony
Let the old roots rise and the soft leaves sway
Guide my restless heart where the stillness stays
Post-Chorus
Ooo ooo ooo
Guide my heart where the stillness stays
Verse 2
She's been watchin every sunrise for a hundred years or more
Rooted deep in the spicewood where the hills touch shore
If you sit beneath her shade while the daylight moves through
You can feel her spirit whisper pullin light into you
Pre-Chorus
There's a hush in the meadow
Where forgotten dreams grow
Let the current carry sorrow
Let the light overflow
Chorus
Home Tree carry me
Where the wild winds sing in harmony
Let the old roots rise and the soft leaves sway
Guide my restless heart where the stillness stays
Post-Chorus
Ooo ooo ooo
Guide my heart where the stillness stays
