From the recording All Aboard The Slo Train

Sometimes you have to go a long way from home to appreciate what you left behind. Kimberly M'Carver found an eloquent way to express that feeling.

Lyrics

Southern wind, it just keeps calling me.
these crowded, busy streets just won't let me be.
I have wandered off too far on my own.
And I have lost my way and what was my home.

Voices that talk through the leaves,
Whispering, "Do as you please."
Wind chimes that beacon to me
To find my way back home to you.

Blinded by city lights, the neon in my eyes.
The sounds of these troubled streets I've learned to despise.
To have the midnight train wake me from my sleep.
And rise to the songs of birds, not cries from the street.

(chorus)

Passing the old town lake, tears sting my face.
And I find myself running like a child in a race.
The house is still so blue, it sets the sun ablaze,
But the sweet smell of wild gardenias cannot erase,

(chorus)

(repeat chorus)

I'm looking to find my way back home to you.
