Salvation

(albüm: Starlight And Ash - 2022)

This land where I was born
Near this old river
Nothing there to keep my heart from wondering
But there I'm tethered

Those ole stories haunt me
Those old stories are me

Everything I've ever loved
Is at the bottom of the river
Where we go to be reborn
A baptism in forever

I'm a 1,000 miles from home
I'm a 1,000 miles from nowhere
But tonight I'll close my eyes
And when I wake up I will be there

Take me south
Take me home
Where the sunsets glow
Where the trees bend down
And lay me below

Send me south
On the old Trinity
I'll meet the Shepherd's call
On that ole boat ride just going home

And she'll say, raise him up
Raise him up (raise him up)
Bring him south
To where the ole bells call

The trees have bended branches
The harsh winds have shaped them so
They embrace this hanging man that I am
Take me south, take me home

Where the Shepherd makes his home each evening
And the Trinity River flows
Beast of the southern river
Beast of the southern wild

Take me south
Take me home
Where the sunsets glow
Where the trees bend down
And lay me below

Send me south
On the old Trinity
I'll meet the Shepherd's call
On that ole boat ride just going home

And she'll say raise him up
Raise him up (raise him up)
Bring him south to where the ole bells call

(Bring him home, yes bring him home)
Mmm hmm
(Bring him home to where the ole bell call)
Home to where the ole bell call
(He's coming home, he's coming home)
Where's the sunset glows, lay him below
(He's coming home, he's coming)
He's coming home, lay, lay him below
(He's coming home, he's coming home)
Ohhhh, ohhh, yes take him home
(He's coming home, he's coming home)
Ohhh, ohhhh, ohhhh
