Through the shadows, dark as shame
I can still hear your voice falling down with the rain
Washing memories from the trees
'Til this road's covered over and lost in the leaves

Careless children, fresh as sin
I was your trouble when you were my friend
Sweet as rain on hallowed ground
And one endless summer that ended somehow

Heal the old wounds, lay me down
Take me home to hallowed ground
On the water, on the wind
Where the dream is born again
Oh, carry me home

I walked the long road 'til I found
Each step took me further from where I was bound
Bruised and broken in my soul
And longing for something that we used to know

Heal the old wounds, lay me down
Take me home to hallowed ground
On the water, on the wind
Where the dream is born again
Oh, carry me home

We were chasing the grey wind
And wasting our days in the sun
But stand and deliver
And peace like a river will run

Walked the long road 'til I found
Each step took me further from where I was bound

Heal the old wounds, lay me down
Take me home to hallowed ground
On the water, on the wind
Where the dream is born again

Oh
Heal the old wounds, lay me down
Take me home to hallowed ground
On the water, on the wind
Where the dream is born again

Oh, carry me home
Carry me home!
Play the blues, boy!
