New Way Home
Dedicated with love to Ronnie & Jay
Drinking in the forest air
It's a new way home
Suddenly the path is clear
It's a new way home
I've walked this road many times before
So many miles I hear those old thoughts roar
But tonight, down this road alone
It's a new way home
These shoes know every twist and turn
Down this new way home
Where December froze and August burned
Down this new way home
I hear the spirits call again
Calling me down to the meadow's end
And tonight, where the heavens roam
It's a new way home
Clouds roll against a dusk-covered sky
As a brighter moon fills my eyes
Shadows cross the fields and fall
Down by the pond I hear them call
From another time
The old farmhouse waits on a hill
On this new way home
We're still peering out from that windowsill
On this new way home
The trees now tall
From those years gone by
I see new branches brush the sky
And tonight, where those pine trees blow
It's a new way home
And tonight, where the heaven's roam
It's a new way home
