Mark Erelli - Call You Home lyrics

There are seven sisters weeping Down by the old oxbow As the coffee colored river Swells with melting snow Soon a bittersweet new season Will turn the gray to green again And I'll have to find a way To say goodbye to you, my friend CHORUS I'm gonna miss you this I know Though I'll be just another memory when I go Will you forgive me all my sins And gather me back in Like the prodigal son no more to roam Will you let me once again call you home The sky is open like a chalice All along the river road Where the patchwork field tobacco barns Shiver in the cold I could drink it in for hours And never take my fill I tell myself that I'll forget But I know I never will (CHORUS) The wild birds take their pa**age Across the vernal sky Like an arrow loosed from God's own bow So swift and true they fly Lord, draw me from your quiver Take away my tears Shoot me o'er the seven sisters Somewhere far away from here (CHORUS)
