Lyrics Mary Chapin Carpenter – Going Home
Text:
This morning I work up with the feelin’
That I’d been away too long
All this blacktop runnin’ underneath my wheels
Makes me feel too gone
And a little bit of time on my own
And then the sight of you
Just waiting for me with open arms
Goin’ home
Goin’ home
Now it’s the middle of November
And the lilies bloom by the Gage springs
Yeah, I can see us flyin’ down the Craig store road
Like we’ve got wings
Turn the radio off, baby, all I want to do is hear you sing
Yeah, I can close my eyes and perfectly imagine everything
Goin’ home, goin’ home
Goin’ home, goin’ home
All the time that I been takin’
All the things I’ve never found
Suddenly were waiting for me
The minute that I slowed it down
All the time that I been takin’
All the things I’ve never found
Suddenly were waiting for me
The minute that I turned around
Tonight I’m gonna wish you
All the things that love can bring
And then I’ll climb right up
And watch the sun go down on top of Reilly’s hill
Just a-slippin’ in under the windowsill
And smell the perfume of the night
From those lilies of those fields
Goin’ home, goin’ home
Goin’ home, goin’ home
Goin’ home, goin’ home
Goin’ home, goin’ home
