I heard Emmylou Harris say that no matter what she was going through, if there was just one more song for her to sing, that’s all she would need to take her further. And then I put pen to paper…
lyrics
Jagged branches and black crows
Broken walls where the wind blows
River stopped when the ice froze
And it’s cold, ah yes it’s cold
And the only thing you want is to get on home
Hmmm mmm, just to get on home
The only thing you want is to get on home
Where loving arms will softly hold you
Lonesome road and the sky’s gray
Endless crowds in a strange place
Through your tears you can touch grace
And you pray, ah yes you pray
I’ve walked this road such a long time
With some Guy Clark, a little John Prine
Each song takes you further in its own time
And you walk, this ground you walk
