about

Peggy Seeger, Harmony Music

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 am thinking of heading for home
And I am thinking of heading for home

The cradle and grave, the fruit and the seed
Seasons mirror my own
The geese flying south are calling to me
And I am thinking of heading for home
And I am thinking of heading for home

Always on the move with banner unfurled
Yet gathering moss to my stone
I sing for the children and cry for the world
And I am thinking of heading for home
And I am thinking of heading for home

As time’s my old friend, so death’s my new kin
I’m not making this journey alone
I am old, I am young, I am all that I have been
And I am thinking of heading for home
And I am thinking of heading for home

The memory of love will burn in my heart
Till the ashes and the embers they are gone
The light in your window will be my Northern Star
And I am thinking of heading for home
And I am thinking of heading for home

And it is time I was heading for home
It is time I was heading for home
