We Always Come Home

Father was born by Daisy May Welch
Mister was a barber, never learned to drive
In the old house, his brother’s first son
Next to where the eldest died
When I was a child of five
We always come home
We always come home
We always come home
We always wander home
Mother was a smart one, ran the town news
A thing they called The Diamond Drill
Father worked the lifts in the old Tobin mine
He always loved the saxophone
But he had to keep us all alive
We always come home
We always come home
We always come home
We always wander home
Another time, would you be brave enough?
There’s no more growing up
See the crystal falling
Hear the old town calling
Another place, but do you dream enough?
Afraid of waking up
See the crystal falling
Hear the old town calling you away
Grandma’s buried on the big hill since fall
Right next to where Grandpa lies
They’ve gone away, but they’ve saved a place for me
That’s where I’ll be someday
And it’s so good to know
We always come home
We always come home
We always come home
We always wander home
