Edina's
only three years old
I
want to protect her heart of gold
But
all I can do is one small part
To
help her father
Help
her mother
Edina's
only three years old
Edina's
very far away
We're
gonna be face to face one day
I
have to see her eyes with mine
And
meet her father
Meet
her mother
Edina's
very far away
So
in my choice to give
I'll
watch her grow
And
through our cards and letters
Get
to know the kind of life she wants
And
help her reach her dreams
Edina's
only three years old
I
want to protect her heart of gold
But
all I can do is one small part
To
help her father
Help
her mother
Edina's
only three years old

From
Amy Fairchild: She's Not Herself
I
live in a room on Main Street
Three
flights above passers by
The
traffic begins at 7:00 am when morning lights up the sky
I
worked as a musical waitress
That
was three years ago
Now
I count on my songs to get me along
And
you know that's a long row to hoe
My
brother worked for the circus
Watches
her fly through the air
Can't
pay his rent so he lives in a tent
On
the camping ground at the fair
He
calls collect from Cleveland
Says
the circus life is not for me
I'm
going out west and I'll try my best to write home regularly
It's
a long way home when you've learned how to run away
It's
a long way home
My
sister she lived Down Under
Married
the man of her dreams
Now
she's flying back home on a plane all alone
Coming
apart at the seams
She
liked the idea of marriage
She
wanted to have and to hold
The
time just seemed right when he asked her that night
Now
the idea's grown old
It's
a long way home
My
parents live in a suburb
Parking
spaces for two
Extra
room for the kids when the come home to live
When
they don't know what else to do
My
mom she works with children
My
father he councils their dads
They
live all alone in a really nice home
They
say it's the nicest they've had
It's
a long way home

From Lucy
Kaplansky: The Red Thread
When
I found you I knew that you'd be mine
It
wasn't my first kiss, it wasn't my first time
It
was the first time I gave my heart when it wasn't just a loan
I
put it in your hands and I followed you home
Now
I'm on the interstate wishing I could sleep
I
see you lying in our bed, you're waiting up for me
And
while I'm taking in the view I'm wishing I could give you what I
wanted to
You
know I want it too
This
is home, where I want to be
This
is home, let's make a family
Baby
you and me
Baby
you and me
She's
lying on a bed in some crowded room
Trying
to sleep, not much else to do
The
faces change around her, they speak to her sometimes
She's
getting used to being left behind
When
we find her, we'll belong to her
We
won't see her first smile, we won't hear her first word
But
ours will be the first hearts she holds in her hands
She
can keep them beside her in her very own room
This
is home, where I want to be
This
is home, let's make a family
Baby
you and me
Baby
you and me

Ramel: Make Tomorrow Up
I've
been falling down
I've
been lost but now I'm found
The
blackness before sunrise
Is
there to wake me to realize that
Tomorrow
can bring sunshine
Someday
we'll find happiness and our
Sorrows
will melt behind us
Love
will guide us
Back
to who we are
Can
you feel the magic?
I
saw starlight in your eyes
Fly
me through the rain so I can
Feel
the shower, love is power
Rising
higher
White
wings gliding, riding
Lighter,
faster
Hearing
children's laughter

From Martha
Byrne: The Other Side
You
had the bluest eyes
A
stare I'd memorize
Like
a sacred prayer
You
didn't' have much to say
But
I listened anyway
I
could see right through
I
held on
For
so long
'Cause
somehow I knew
Like
a breath of air
You
were always there
And
I will find my way back
Even
on my own
You
are my home
And
I will find my way back
I
know you so well
There
are things I'll never tell
Now
your secret's safe
I've
been walking next to you
What
you want I want it too
Now
just take my hand
Time
may be broken
But
we are strong
Like
a breath of air
You
were always there
And
I will find my way back
And
wherever I go
You
are my soul
And
I will find my way back
To
you
You
could turn on me
You
could run away
But
no matter what you do
I'll
always be in love with you
Like
a breath of air
You
were always there
And
I will find my way back
Even
on my own
You
are my home
And
I will find my way back
Like
a breath of air
You
were always there
And
I will find my way back
And
wherever you go
You're
in my soul
And
you will find your way back
And
you will find your way back
And
I will find my way back

From Jan
Smith: 29 Dances
Folks
here know when they see the witch hazel grow
Winter
is leaving town
It
feels so strange, how the winds can change
Oh
how they blow me around
All
I've found that's certain is the sea and all of this hurting
But
I'd like to hold on to you
Pretend
it ain't so, pretend we'll never go
When
that is just what we do
You
have to admire the believers who aspire
To
grow gardens on the roof
The
patches of grass that push their way past
Concrete
like some sort of proof
Of
life
At
the first warm wind I will go down to the bend
Of
the James River
If
it feels like home, I won't ever roam
I
will surely live there
Folks
here know when they see the witch hazel grow
Winter
is leaving town
It
feels so strange, how the winds can change
Oh
how they blow me around

Alone

From Natalia
Zukerman: Only One
When
she talks
When
she talks
It's
barely about a whisper
And
when she walks
When
she walks
The
ground seems to dance beneath her
When
she sang
When
she sang
You
had no choice but to love her
And
when she smiled
When
she smiled
The
clouds would part in the sky above her
And
it looked like something that you'd always known
And
it would feel just like coming home
When
she was born
When
she was born
The
heavens surely missed her
For
as she lay dying
As
she lay dying
She
said there were angels there to receive her
She
said, "Oh it looks like something that I've always known."
She
said, "I feel like coming home."
Maybe
this love is all I'll ever know
Maybe
I will never find my way home
But
if this love is all I will ever know
I
have already found my way home

From Sarah
Lentz: No Going Home
Wonderfully
made, fearfully sewn,
Who
would have known you'd not be my own?
Player
with fire and dancer alone
Will
you desire me when you're grown?
When
you're grown, when you're grown
Careful
with that, the edges are burned
I
should be glad, this is how I learned
You're
a player with fire and dancer alone
Will
you desire me when you're grown?
When
you're grown, when you're grown
Each
time you close your eyes
You
will open them to find all the things I've loved and hated
And
you'll know everywhere your legs will take you
Your
arms will follow you too
Arms
that once held us so close
There's
no going home
Not
from this one, there's no going home
Player
with fire and dancer alone
Will
you desire me when you're grown?
I
don't know, I wish I did, but I don't know
But
I know this
That
each time you close your eyes
You
will open them to find all the things I've loved and hated
And
you'll know everywhere your legs will take you
Your
arms will follow you too
Arms
that once held us so close
There's
no going home
Not
from this one, there's no going home

From Marina
V: Simple Magic
My
heart is beating fast
I'm
going home today
I
sit and watch the clock
Waiting
for my plane
But
I'm scared to leave
Is
not a fear of flight
Seems
like a life-long dream
Since
we said goodbye
Will
I know it's you
Or
will I pass you buy
Will
I know the truth
When
I see your eyes
Will
I be alone
When
I come home
So
has it been too long
Will
you want me back
Or
did the parted sea
Drown
what we once had
I'm
like a falling leaf
To
new, familiar skies
I'm
reaching for my tree
But
drifting out of sight
When
I come home
Will
you still be there?

In A Big Way Music (ASCAP)
From Kellee
Bradley: Waiting
Just
when I think I've got all the answers
Life
shakes the eight-ball and changes everything
And
when I get too high
Someone's
always standing by
With
a needle but no net to bring me down again
How
do I explain about you
Against
all odds you love me like you do
Through
all the ups and downs
And
the crazy winding roads
Somehow
you bring me home
Every
day seems a little shorter
And
I'm not sure what I know
I
just know I'm getting older
So
I focus on the real things and what I know is true
Like
my love for my music my family and you
Home
some people never find it
Home
it's the place where I can hide
And
the reason I don't drown
When
the world flips me upside down
Is
because I'm not alone
You
bring me home

From Kate
Klim:
Up
And Down And Up Again
Ever
grain, every ember, every piece of home
You
never go back, you only remember
The
good and the bad you've known
Every
day, it passed like a lifetime, for all of the joy we found
There
was always the flame of somebody's temper
'Til
Gloria one day you had to get out
Sometimes
we make it, sometimes we don't
But
it's harder to take it when you're so far from home
Oh
so throw down your pride 'cause that chip in your shoulder
It'll
only get wider as we're getting older
And
we'll save a place for you at the table
Every
frame, every picture, every stone we laid
It
isn't the same, you feel like a stranger
And
you try to find some sleep in side this bed you've made
Sometimes
we make it, sometimes we don't
But
it's harder to take it when you're so far from home
Oh
so throw down your pride 'cause that chip in your shoulder
It'll
only get wider as we're getting older
And
we'll save a place for you at the table
Gloria,
it's time
Gloria,
it's time
Ever
grain, every ember, every piece of home
You
never go back, you only remember, you never let go
Never
let go

Lizanne Knott Run-Around Music (ASCAP)
From Lizanne
Knott: Limited Edition
The
world is a crazy place when no one is by your side
And
all that you've tried to embrace
Is
only a lie
When
there's nothing left to believe here at the end of the day
Baby
hold on to me and know I have prayed
I
prayed for the sun on your face
I
prayed for the moon in your nights
I
prayed that all things in their place are giving you light
And
all through your longest days
Through
even the darkest of storms
I'm
rowing my boat on the sea
To
carry you home, to carry you home
Something
keeps calling you, a voice on the summer wind
There's
nothing you will do
To
chance it again
There's
always a remedy for things that you can not have
Bringing
you to your knees
When
you could just dance
So
dance with the sun on your face
And
dream with the moon in your nights
Know
that all things in their place are giving you light
And
all through your longest days
Through
even the darkest of storms
I'm
rowing my boat on the sea
To
carry you home, to carry you home

From Kathy
Phillips: Carries You Away
Rita,
she's an acrobat
Flying
over circus cats
If
she falls, she doesn't get paid
She'll
tell you she's in trapeze art
Under
lights she pays the part
She's
a freak in her own kind of way
Rita,
she can get some height
In
her mind she's taking flight
Right
out of this place
When
she smiles at the crowd
Loves
to hear them cheer so loud
Gets
her through another day
Thinks
of the folks back home
Cause
here she feels alone
At
night she's drinking with the clowns
To
see if she can wipe the frowns
Right
off of their face
And
when all the lights go down
Heading
for another town
Going
home in a strange kind of way
So
many years gone by
Memories
fade in time
Here
in her traveling home
She
knows that she's not alone
She
knows she's not alone
She's
home, now she is home

From Mare
Wakefield: Take Me Home
You
moved your own mountains you parted your own sea
You
made so many enemies, but you made a friend out of me
And
you were so beautiful, you were the one
You
were washed by the rain, warmed by the sun
You
were everything I thought I would need
But
empty brown bottles, I won't cry over you I won't cry over you
Still
when you ask me, I cannot refuse
Take
me home take me home take me home take me all the way home
Take
me home take me home take me home take me all the way home
And
man I remember how you played that guitar
You
made all the girls cry, you made all the boys look from the bar
And
you were so beautiful, blew me away
With
the notes you would sing, the words you would say
You
were everything I wanted to be
But
cast away needles, I won't cry over you I won't cry over you
Yet
there's still one thing I need you to do
Take
me home take me home take me home take me all the way home
Take
me home take me home take me home take me all the way home
