The moon hangs full in the rain
The mornin' star shines your name
Poor children on the streets after dark
Crossin' my heart to the homeland
Turnin' my back to the wind
Scratchin' time around my chin
Deep water frozen under the bridge
Crossin' my heart to the homeland
Sweet words have I heard from you
A steady love beyond the blues
Ready waitin' if I'm able
Crossin' my heart to the homeland
There's a silence in the hills
A lonesome road standin' still
Miles and miles between us to fill
Crossin' my heart to the homeland
Crossin' my heart to the homeland
The mornin' star shines your name
Poor children on the streets after dark
Crossin' my heart to the homeland
Turnin' my back to the wind
Scratchin' time around my chin
Deep water frozen under the bridge
Crossin' my heart to the homeland
Sweet words have I heard from you
A steady love beyond the blues
Ready waitin' if I'm able
Crossin' my heart to the homeland
There's a silence in the hills
A lonesome road standin' still
Miles and miles between us to fill
Crossin' my heart to the homeland
Crossin' my heart to the homeland
