storms can spoil a summer’s grain/blood runs cold and dust it blows the life that we’ve made/but my love it’s all i’ve ever known/i’d never leave the only place that i call home/so go ahead and tell me that you’re going/go ahead alone//chorus//if this old home is where you leave i’d like to stay a little while/light a fire let it burn down to nothing every night/and you send me a letter in another place and time/when the soil in your garden turns pennies into dimes/i’ll be alone waiting in this old home//life turns around just like a storm/so i’ll board the windows shut them tight and lock the door/go your own way and say i’ll see/but when the old west wind starts howling and you’re cold you’ll think of me/and i’ll laugh when i remember you were going/going on your own//chorus//buildings crumble mountains fall and i’ll stay the same/go ahead and say come with me/it’s never too late to change//if this old home is where you leave i’d like to stay awhile instead/light a fire let it burn down again and die in my own bed/and i’ll send you all my love when i reach the other side/watch out for you and hope you’ve got the strength to stay alive/come hell and come high water i don’t care if i’m alone/you can find me watching the fire again at night in this old home//
