Untitled

in Andalucia, past valley and dale

run the golden, sunflower fields

and a hut is a house that stands all alone

ivy and flowers have overtaken stone

and the rusty, old Santa Fe door

and warm, pink clay floor

this is the home I've seen these years

a dream welded with passions tears.

 

Climb the peaks of the Rockies tall

off the edge, don't tread or fall.

Hear the sound of the bald eagles cry

the flash of summer lightning in the sky

breathe in deep the mountain air

come to my cabin, find me there.

 

Home is where the heart is

that is what they say

dreamers dreaming escapes,

every single day.

I've built mine on the sands of my sleep

water my gardens with the emotion I weep.

 

Swim in the blue seas, fair and calm

the salty air a warm, sweet balm

feel the sand, clinging to your feet

walk the golden expanse of a deserted beach.

Find a hammock, swinging ever more

who needs a key to a sunshine-built door?

 

Roll in the grass of a swollen, green plain

made lush after days of endless gray rain.

Wicked sun, both hot and cold

the breeze runs rampant, the fields unfold.

Wheat meet Wood, tall and strong

trees that grow, bows lush and long.

Build me a palace within these leaves

a kingdom of green amongst these trees.

 

Home is where the heart is

that is what they say

dreamers dreaming escapes,

every single day.

I've built mine on the sands of my sleep

water my gardens with the emotion I weep.

 

Home is where the heart is

that is what they say

escapes etched in cavern walls

in the sunlight of the day.

Scribe a vision which never was

plot it in the starry sky—

Home; the dream, just because...

it hurts so much to lie.
