Home - Ruth Etting

When shadows fall

And trees whisper day’s ending

My thoughts are ever wending home

When crickets call

My heart is forever yearning

Once more to be returning home

When the hills conceal the setting sun

Stars begin a-peeping one by one

Night covers all

And though fortune may forsake me

Sweet dreams will ever take me home

Evening marks the close of day

Skies of blue begin to gray

Crimson hues are fading in the west

Evening ever brings to me

Dreams of days that used to be

Memories of those I love the best

When shadows fall

And trees whisper day is ending

My thoughts are ever wending home

When crickets call

My heart is forever yearning

Once more to be returning home

Loving arms are waiting there for me

Precious lips to kiss so tenderly

Night covers all

And though misfortune may befall me

Sweet dreams will ever call me

They’ll be calling, calling, calling me home
