lyrics

Sing me home when the last light is fading
Sing me home when the ferryman’s waiting
Where the long hard day spreads on a pale sky
Let the song bird fly and carry o’er

Sing me home and leave off your grieving
Sing me home when the time comes for leaving
Every traveller takes the last road alone
Sing me home, sing me home, sing me home

Sing me home I’ll go in good grace then
Sing me home to my dwelling place then
As the glass is raised and the evening falls
We gently rise and softly call

Sing me home at the hour that we part now
Sing me home from the words in your heart now
Mark them there upon the stone
Sing me home sing me home sing me home

Sing for the joy and the good times forsaken
For all I gave all that I’ve taken
For the innocence lost and the wisdom that’s found
From the cradle to the holy ground

Sing me home, let the voice be our shelter
Raise it up to carry me over
Rise then and tend to these seeds that I’ve sown
Sing me home sing me home sing me home
Sing me home sing me home sing me home
