written in California, the place of my birth, after a year and a half abroad.
lyrics
dirt soft under my feet
and a sliver moon
is sinking
in a tangerine sky
the crickets
are singing my faovorite song
welcome back
why'd you stay gone so long
sage
on the breeze
whispers the truth to me
you're still a wild thing
and you
will always be
part of our family
sink your roots like a tree
welcome back
why'd you stay gone so long
venus
we can barely see
your light shining
so we reach across the sea
and take
the strong hands of the other
remember you are free
and you will always be
welcome back
why'd you stay gone so long
