Home Is A Song

[Verse 1: Mary Chapin Carpenter]
Love is a language, time is a thief
Hope is a lantern, breath is relief
Memory is water pooled in your palm
Home is a song

[Verse 2: Mary Chapin Carpenter]
Twilight's a whisper, night is a chord
Grudges are poison, anger's a sword
Beauty's a feeling you feel coming on
Home is a song

[Chorus: Mary Chapin Carpenter & Anaïs Mitchell, Mary Chapin Carpenter]
I keep singing like birds in the morning
I keep listening to the wind in the trees
I keep wondering where am I going
And who will I be?

[Verse 3: Mary Chapin Carpenter]
Rain is a teardrop, envy's a thorn
A friend is a lifeboat when lonely's a storm
A ghost is a shadow that's here, then it's gone
And home is a song

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Mary Chapin Carpenter & Anaïs Mitchell]
I keep singing like birds in the morning
I keep listening to the wind in the trees
I keep wondering where am I going
And who will I be?

[Verse 4: Mary Chapin Carpenter & Anaïs Mitchell, Mary Chapin Carpenter]
A heart is a traveler, a soul is a wing
Calling all passengers wanting to sing
One day we'll arrive where we belong
Where home is a song

[Outro: Mary Chapin Carpenter & Anaïs Mitchell]
When we arrive where we belong
Home is a song
