Carpenter, Mary Chapin - Going Home Lyrics






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
Well I could use a lot of sleep
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
I feel the beautiful breeze
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

    "Going Home"

    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
    Well I could use a lot of sleep
    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
    I feel the beautiful breeze
    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

    By all means Mary Chapin Carpenter PLEASE NEVER LET THE MUSIC DROWN THAT BEAUTIFUL VOICE AGAIN ! LOVE YA !

  5. J.... H....

    I enjoy the ballad/folk nature of this album and "The Age of Miracles." The songs are familiar in style to other songs that I like but also are "brand new" to me. I often listen when working out.
