Kentucky has my heart And Arkansas is my dreams And Carolina's somewhere in the middle in between These wrinkles round my eyes Aren't yet much to see But they grow longer On the nights like these The silence keeps me from sleep The lonely moon looks down on me The clouds, just like ghosts, haunt the sky I thought I heard a trumpet sound I looked above and I looked around Thought maybe my Savior was coming back for me
But Gabriel was fast asleep He was dreaming all of Heaven's biggest dreams And Jesus was somewhere off praying for me on His knees And the Father was on His throne The Spirit singing Him His favorite song And the devil watched in through a window His heart burned jealous like a piece of coal And the wind brings you closer And the wind brings you closer And the wind brings you closer to me
