Home Free - David Crosby

I would sometimes when it rained put a candle there

As if it were an alter all white and bare

And I’d draw myself a bath and soak in the dark

As if I were Noah and this was my ark

And I’d look out of that window at the towering sky

And think to myself, «How lucky am I»

That I have my home and I live here

Like a baby in a blanket with nothing to fear

I’d boil up some coffee on that battered old stove

And wonder how those people could travel and rove

So wild and unprotected out across this great land

Out in the wind, out in the sand

And I think I’ll never leave here, never leave here at all

Like a tree always knowing where it’s leaves will fall

You fight like the devil to hold this ground

This place of safety that we’ve found

These roots reach out past the shadow of the tree

We thought we could be home free

Now I will sometimes put some flowers outside

As if they were a picket fence to help me hide

And I’ll bury this talisman beneath the great tree

We’ll stay here together my old friend and me

And I’ll look out of that window at the towering sky

And I’ll think to myself, «How lucky am I»

That I have my home and I live here

Like a baby in a blanket with nothing to fear
