The Journey Home - Keith Jarrett

On my way home I'll make sure to keep the car moving slow Roll the windows down and open my eyes To the shadows and lights That dance on the road All I've seen Are now just pictures in the rearview to me But they've left pebbles in my tires And a heart that burns like fire Left marks on me With each mile I travel I breathe a little deeper See a little clearer Laugh a little louder With each moment passing The sun it glows brighter It leads me on my way On my way On this journey home Home On my way home I'll pull over to lighten my load Find a bar with a band and some wine Dance through the night With friends I don't know And if I see If I see a storm coming for me I'll get back in the car and drive through it 'Cause running won't do it It won't wash me clean I may not know what my route is But I'm headed the right way The hills they get higher but I ain't going back There's no turning around on a one way When day turns to night I will turn on my lights And I'll trade sleep for the drive What if I miss something beautiful When I close my eyes? Don't wanna miss anything On this journey home Home If I find a lost soul stuck on the roadside I'll put the brakes on and I'll give 'em a ride We'll talk and remember we're never alone That we're all headed home I may not know what my route is But I'm headed the right way The hills they get higher but I ain't going back There's no turning around on a one way When day turns to night I will turn on my lights And I'll trade sleep for the drive What if I miss something beautiful When I close my eyes? Don't wanna miss anything On this journey home Home On this journey home Home

If on every ocean the ship is a throne And for each mast cut down, another sapling is grown Then I could believe that I'm bound to find A better life than I left behind But as you ascend the ladder Look out below where you tread For the colours bled as they overflowed Red, white and blue, green, white and gold So I had to leave from my country of birth As for each child grown tall, another lies in the earth And for every rail we laid in the loam There's a thousand miles of the long journey home But as you ascend the ladder Look out below where you tread For the colours bled as they overflowed Red, white and blue, green, white and gold But as you ascend the ladder Look out below where you tread For the colours bled as they overflowed Red, white and blue, green, white and gold Red, white and blue, green, white and gold
