Title track on the new release. A song about a fellow musician that hit the rocks one night

lyrics

HOME IN THE SKY
K MITCHELL 3/2014 KEY OF E!( capo 5)

THERE WAS A BOY THAT GREW UP STRONG C
IN HIS MOTHER'S LOVING ARMS F
BUT STILL IN HER ARMS HE WOULD CRY Am G
LONGING FOR HIS HOME IN THE SKY F Am G

AND ALL THROUGH THE COLD DARK NIGHT
HE DREAMED OF DAYS FILLED WITH LIGHT
AND THE ANGELS HE ALL KNEW BY NAME
BUT IN THE MORNING THEY ALL FLY AWAY

CH: AS THIS WORLD FALLS APART F C G Am
OH THAT BOY HOLDS HIS BROKEN HEART " "
ALL THE KINGS HORSES AND ALL THE KINGS MEN " "
CANNOT PUT THE PIECES TOGETHER F C G
AGAIN F C G
NOW THE BOY HE IS A MAN
HE PLAYS HIS SONGS IN A BAND
HE MAKES PEOPLE LAUGH AMD CRY
UP ABOVE THEY DANCE IN THE SKY

BUT HE PAYS THE PRICE WITH TOO MUCH WINE
TRYING TO FILL A HOLE INSIDE
HE CAN RUN BUT HE CANNOT HIDE
HE CANNOT ANSWER THE QUESTION WHY
CH:
NOW WHOSE TO SAY THE CARDS WE'RE DEALT
WHEN TO HOLD FOLD OR BET
WHEN TO HOLD YOUR HEART WHEN TO PRAY
WHEN TO DREAM IT ALL AWAY

IN THE SUN AND IN THE RAIN
IN THIS WORLD OF LOVE AND PAIN
THERES A BOY THAT CANNOT HELP BUT CRY
LONGING FOR HIS HOME IN THE SKY

In the last few years the fire has been lit, and those songs are roaring into life. His unique style, rhythms and subject matter combine to create an exciting new and original voice in the Canadian folk music scene. ... more
