Carrie Newcomer - There and Back lyrics

There and back I have traveled Here and there I have walked And I have found more beauty than I'd ever had thought But I still dream often of that place I know Deeper in my bones than most places ever go. I can see home shining like a silver star Like paradise calling me from oh so far When I shade my eyes I can just make it out A long dirt road, a faithful dog, and an old white house I have survived the bustle, but I still like the lights I have stared up in wonder at countless shining nights But no matter where I go, I find there I am The same old stranger in an even stranger land I can see home shining like a silver star Like paradise calling me from oh so far When I shade my eyes I can just make it out A long dirt road, a faithful dog, and an old white house Often have hungered for the way you feel And the smell of summer thunder and the quiet winter fields I have walked with madness and lay down with lies And learned how to stand, but better yet how to fly. I can see home shining like a silver star Like paradise calling me from oh so far When I shade my eyes I can just make it out A long dirt road, a faithful dog, and an old white house Yesterdays are many and tomorrow's filled with doubt And still I don't know what this whole darn thing is about But you what you are and it's better to find out. What it is that you love most of all. I have loved so many things in this great wide world And the simple sounds of home are the sweetest things I've heard For right here the means are humble but hearts are proud And don't mind standing up and saying right out loud I can see home shining like a silver star Like paradise calling me from oh so far When I shade my eyes I can just make it out A long dirt road, a faithful dog, and an old white house
