Take me back home to the air that's warm And the silent, soaking rain Where the cedar grows to the one who knows Nothing is ever in vain There was someone there who would take good care That nothing was ever the same Take me back home again, weary of wandering I won't be leaving again Can you give me some word of the one who waits In the house of quarry stone Where the river bends and the eagle spins No one is ever alone Though I had to go How could I know this love that may never have grown Take me back home again, weary of wandering I won't be leaving again Will you take me back home to the dragonflies And the narrow winding lane Where the water falls and the cuckoo calls Nothing is ever the same To the open gates, to the one who waits For love that will never change Take me back home again, weary of wandering I won't be leaving again
