Peggy Seeger - Heading for Home lyrics

My face to the sky, my back to the wind Winter is entering my bones The day has been long and night's drawing in And I'm thinking of heading for home And I'm thinking of heading for home The cradle and grave, the fruit and the seed The seasons mirror my own The geese flying south are calling to me And I'm thinking of heading for home And I'm thinking of heading for home Always on the move with banner unfurled Yet gathering moss on the stone I sing for the children and cry for the world And I'm thinking of heading for home And I'm thinking of heading for home As time's my old friend and d**h's my new kin I'm not taking the journey alone I am old, I am young, I am all that I've been And I'm thinking of heading for home And I'm thinking of heading for home The memory of love will burn in my heart Till embers and ashes are gone The light in your window is my northern star And I'm thinking of heading for home And I'm thinking of heading for home And it's time I was heading for home And it's time I was heading for home
