Heart in the Sky

Gulls call along the bay,
Sun gleams on the mudflats - day's begun
Day's begun

The breeze upon the water
Moves boats along the waves - day's begun
Day's begun

Home, this is my home
Land where I come from, place where I'm going
Home, this is my home
Hands in the soil, heart in the sky

The cool of morning passes
Such stillness before after noon - the sun is high
The sun is high

Rows of corn, hills of potatoes
My fingers around the hoe - the sun is high
The sun is high

Your voice calls from the doorway
"Would you shut the chickens in?" - evening's come
Evening's come

Sometimes there's nothing more to say
That names the love I'm in -
Evening's come
