Home to Me - Tom Paxton

Tell the rose not to bloom, the stream to flow

Tell the rain not to fall, the tree to grow

Tell the high summer sky to lose its blue

But don’t tell that I don’t belong with you

You could send me away and I would go

I would go but I would not go too far

You could send me home but you would know

Home to me is anywhere you are

When I met you there was nothing to decide

It was simply something inside

I felt strange for a minute, then I knew

That I finally felt complete when I found you

You could send me away and I would go

I would go but I would not go too far

You could send me home but you would know

Home to me is anywhere you are

There are those who really never know their minds

They’re confused and they’re not the stayin' kind

They don’t know what they’re really lookin' for

I don’t suffer from that problem any more

You could send me away and I would go

I would go but I would not go too far

You could send me home but you would know

Home to me is anywhere you are
