Chorus 1:
C
The clouds adrift across the sky
Like heaven’s laundry hung to dry
F                               Dm
You slowly feel it all will be revealed
Dm
Where evening shadows come to fall
C
On the awful and the beautiful
F                                  Dm
Every wound you feel that needs to heal
F
Silence yearns to hear herself
C
Some long lost memory rings a bell
F              Dm F Dm C
Called home

Verse 2:

F
Old pre-Civil War brick house
Dm
Standin’ tall and straight somehow
C
Called home
F
Mailbox full of weariness
Dm
And a word of hard won happiness
C
Called home

Chorus 2:

C
Leave behind your Sunday best
You know we couldn’t care less
F                                        Dm
Out here we’ve learned to leave the edges wild

And stories they get passed around
C
And laughter – it gets handed down
F                             Dm
Read it in the lines around a smile
C
Our bodies’ motion comes to rest
C
When we are at last
F
Called home
F
Called home
F
Called home
