The moon hangs full in the rain The mornin' star shines your name Poor children on the streets after dark Crossin' my heart to the homeland Turnin' my back to the wind Scratchin' time around my chin Deep water frozen under the bridge Crossin' my heart to the homeland Sweet words have I heard from you A steady love beyond the blues Ready waitin' if I'm able Crossin' my heart to the homeland There's a silence in the hills A lonesome road standin' still Miles and miles between us to fill Crossin' my heart to the homeland Sweet words have I heard from you A steady love beyond the blues Ready waitin' if I'm able Crossin' my heart to the homeland Sweet words have I heard from you A steady love beyond the blues Ready waitin' if I'm able Crossin' my heart to the homeland Crossin' my heart to the homeland
