Called Home

We were able to see Over the Rhine when they came to Minneapolis in September. It was an EXCELLENT concert!
This is one of my favorite songs on their new LP, Meet Me at the Edge of the World. The title is "Called Home" and it has just grown on me. i love the idea of leaving the edges wild, if you have ever read any of Linford's newletters about their place, Nowhere Farm.

here are the lyrics:

Just shy of Breakin’ Down
There’s a bend in the road that I have found
Called home

Take a left at loneliness
There’s a place to find forgiveness
Called home

With clouds adrift across the sky
Like heaven’s laundry hung to dry
You slowly feel it all will be revealed

Where evening shadows come to fall
On the awful and the beautiful
Every wound you feel that needs to heal

And silence yearns to hear herself
Some long lost memory rings a bell
Called home

Old pre-Civil War brick house
Standin’ tall and straight somehow
Called home

Mailbox full of weariness
And a word of hard won happiness
Called home

Leave behind your Sunday best
You know we couldn’t care a less
Out here we’ve learned to leave the edges wild

And stories they get passed around
And laughter – it gets handed down
Read it in the lines around a smile

Our bodies’ motion comes to rest
When we are at last
Called home
