Lyrics

Calling Her Back Home
Words by Deborah Ballard. Music by Maria Walsh/Carole Nelson


If my love were a river
She’d be the Mississippi
Running deep and headstrong
In her rush to meet the sea

If my love were a bird
She’d be like the albatross
Quartering the oceans
Roaming wide and free

If my love were a fish
She’d leap like a salmon
Surging up the river
She swam from long ago

And I am the lighthouse
Rising clear of the storm
Flooding the sea with light
Calling her back home


Calling her back home
Calling her back home
