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