Lyrics

I've left the sun behind me now
and found a home in the hills of Tennessee
But home is such a transient word
I make it up wherever I may be

I won't forget the days I had
and all the rain, swallowing my thoughts
I won't forget the words I heard
and all the names my memory has caught

Chorus:
Something has changed in me again,
Seasons have brought me closer in,
Now that the crystal waves are gone,
Me and my heart can be movin' on.

So take the things you want from me
I'll make a song from the dust you leave
Cause stories get to jumbled up
with all the words the story doesn't need

So gather up the eggs you have
and give a name to those you treasure most
But as for me I'm done with that
I want no fame, no fortune for to boast.

I know the world will offer me a basket full of goods
Some land to claim and maybe fame, yes this I've understood
But I have seen through history that nothin's gonna last
Cause stackin' stones and claimin' home is something of the past
