Danya River: Lyrics

-Danya River, (BMI)-

For Magnus, Jordan, Dianne and Marc

When I was eating peaches
Mama called me on the phone
She echoed like a drifter
She said, "Baby please come home.
I need you home"

In my unraveled sweater
In my ageless stomping boots
I drove home to Mama
To see what baby girl could do
See what I could?

?Home, Home, going Home
Bone by bone, going Home
Home, Home, going Home
Bone by bone, I?m going Home

He was in the kitchen
Mama fed him with a spoon
How his eyes are sparkless
And my father cannot move
What am I supposed to?

?Home, Home, going Home
Bone by bone, going Home
Home, Home, going Home
Bone by bone, he?s going Home

Up we lifted Papa
From his wheels onto the bed
And I read him stories
Like he did when we were kids
Like he did when we were?

?Home, Home, going Home
Bone by bone, going Home
Home, Home, going Home
Bone by bone, we?re going Home

I long for my Daddy
Like he was a year ago
How my blood remembers
My mother?s echo on the phone
In the echo of my home
