[Verse 1]
Come in, love, shake the rain from your sleeve
Set your boots by the fire, stay awhile with me
There’s a loaf on the board and a pot on the flame
And the house knows your step like it knows its own name
The oak by the window has seen us grow
And the kettle keeps time in a soft, warm glow
Under old stone beams, where the small moths spin
There’s room at the table, just come on in
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the brook below
Through the green and the moss
It carries your laughter
Across the bridge stones
[Chorus]
Home, home, come home
Soft as the hearthfire glow
Home, home, come home
The old walls know you
Home, home, come home
(come home)
There’s a place for you here
For every heart in the room
[Verse 2]
By the wall in the lane, where the briars lean
The grass goes silver where the sheep have been
We’d gather the neighbors when the dusk came down
With a song on the wind and the bread passed round
And if you were weary, the garden would wait
With its parsley and mint by the worn grey gate
No need to be flawless, no need to be brave
This house keeps a quiet for the hurt it can save
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the brook below
Through the fern and the stone
It hums like a blessing
When you’re walking home
[Chorus]
Home, home, come home
Soft as the hearthfire glow
Home, home, come home
The old walls know you
Home, home, come home
(come home)
There’s a place for you here
For every heart in the room
[Bridge]
And maybe the world grows heavy
And maybe the night turns cold
Still the old place is calling
With a lantern of gold
Come as you are, dear
Come with your tired hands
The door is still open
The shadow still stands
[Chorus]
Home, home, come home
Soft as the hearthfire glow
Home, home, come home
The old walls know you
Home, home, come home
(come home)
There’s a place for you here
For every heart in the room
