Home where my heart is turning
Home where the Lilac's blooming
Bright in the morning light of May
Home where the nightfall
Heard the call of the night bird
At the end of a golden summer day
Chorus:
Home where my heart is turning
Home where my memory's burning
Brighter than the ruby red fire light
For me I see no way around it
And there's just no doubt about it
Home's where I wish I was tonight
Home where the banjo's playing soft
While the oak is swaying low
In the summer winds of June
Home where the children sing and wait
While the men are working late
By the amber autumn moon
Home where my heart is turning
Home like a tune returning time
In an echo far away
Home where the emerald days
Go by like a lazy vagabond
In no hurry on his way
Home where the banjo's playing soft
And the folks are staying strong
Through the winter winds of life
Home where the women cook and wait
While the men are working late
By the amber autumn light
