Heartlands
E C D A
Under the same sky, watch the rain fall and watch it dry
Under the same moon, whispered tales of what once did seem true
Under the same stars, lie awake and dream of birthplace far
Under the same night, plague the heart with last remembered sight
C D A
Hard heart and wounds that are not shown
Dry eyes and silent dreams of home
E C D A
Leaves blown in the wind; scour the soul, divest you of your sin
Sun rise o'er the lake; blind your eyes and leave peace in its wake
Stood on clifftop steep; none to share the sorrow as you weep
Verdant valley low; now replace the homeland that you know
C D A
Hard heart and wounds that are not shown
Dry eyes and silent dreams of home
D C A
Heartlands and dwelling of soul
Warm gentle shelter of home
E C D A
All that you recall; borne aloft to soar with eagle's call
All that you have lost; touch your heart and melt away the frost
All that you deny; turn your face so none see as you cry
All that you regain; wash away the past's corroding stain
C D A
Hard heart and wounds that are not shown
Dry eyes and silent dreams of home
E C D A
All that you have known; breathe the lie - there is no going home
