About
Gentle acoustic strumming on guitar and mandolin drives this heartfelt folk track, paired with live instrumentation like fiddle and harmonica for an authentic, intimate feel. Narrative lyrics weave tales of childhood memories, family bonds, and longing for home, delivered through organic vocals with simple harmonies that evoke deep nostalgia. The stripped-down production preserves raw emotional authenticity, capturing a live porch-side gathering under the stars.
Lyrics
Whispers of the wind Through the old oak tree I remember the fields Where the wildflowers grew Mama's hands in the soil Steady and true Daddy's laughter Heady and true Daddy's laughter Echoing down the lanes Linger like summer rain We'd chase the fireflies Till the stars came out Without a single doubt Oh, take me home Where the love will never end Through the storms Is the place my weary soul In my heart That old porch light Sweet home Cold and soft And low Is the place my weary soul Longs to go Sitting on the steps Stories round the fire Singing hymns we all knew By heart brothers wrestling rough Tearing worlds apart Those we loved so much Those threads of family Woven tight And strong in the quiet nights Where we all belong Oh, take me home Where the river bends Through the storms And the years that pass us by Through the storms And the years that pass us by Through the storms And the years that pass us by Longs to go Longs to go Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul Is the place my weary soul
