From the recording Returning Home
Lyrics
THE HEAVENLY HEARTH
I’m a refugee of the heart
I’m a wanderin’ traveler
I’m a gypsy troubadour
I’m a hippy serenader
But the Heavenly Hearth, is callin’ me home
But the Heavenly Hearth, is callin’ me, to come on home
Callin’ me on home, hallelujah
Callin’ me on home, oh my soul
Callin’ me on home, oh glory
Callin’ on, me, to come back, home, home, home
I sing a song, of the lonely traveler
I sing a song, of the broken heart
I’m missin’ everyone, I left behind
And the home I left, at the start
But the Heavenly Hearth, is callin’ me home
But the Heavenly Hearth, is callin’ me, to come on home
Callin’ me on home, hallelujah
Callin’ me on home, oh my soul
Callin’ me on home, oh glory
Callin’ on, me, to come back, home, home, home
My feet, they are weary
But my head, it is clear
I can feel it, in my bones
The end of my journey, is gettin’ near
But the Heavenly Hearth, is callin’ me home
But the Heavenly Hearth, is callin’ me, to come on home
Callin’ me on home, hallelujah
Callin’ me on home, oh my soul
Callin’ me on home, oh glory
Callin’ on, me, to come back, home, home, home
What’s that I see, in the distance?
Is that the home, that I grew up in?
Who are those people, in the window
Smilin’ and wavin’, at me?
But the Heavenly Hearth, is callin’ me home
But the Heavenly Hearth, is callin’ me, to come on home
Callin’ me on home, hallelujah
Callin’ me on home, oh my soul
Callin’ me on home, oh glory
Callin’ on, me, to come back, home, home, home
