Simple harmonies swell in the chorus, supported by live instrumentation like harmonica and fiddle for a raw, fireside authenticity. The stripped-down production captures a warm, reflective journey homeward, evoking timeless communal storytelling.
Lyrics
Whispers on the wind Carry me by Golden fields where the wildflowers sway Mama's hands in the morning Golden fields by the wildflower glow Through the endless night Oh, take me home Where the heart finds its rhythm Chasing the flies through the endless night Oh, take me home Where the heart finds its rhythm Simple and true roots runs forever In the earth that we keep singing The songs that the old ones knew One day I'll wander Those soul Neath my callous feet Leave the noise For the wide open door Where love and the land And the land Make my spirit complete guitar solo Where the heart finds Its rhythm Simple and true roots forever In the earth that we keep singing The songs that the old ones knew Ooh Oh, take me home Where the river runs deep Chasing the flies through the endless night Oh, take me home Where the heart finds its rhythm Simple and true roots forever In the earth that we keep singing The songs that the old ones knew Chasing the flies through the endless night Oh, take me home Oh, take me home Oh, take me home Where the heart finds its rhythm The songs that the old ones knew Chasing the flies through the endless night Where the heart finds its rhythm Simple and true roots forever Oh, take me home Where the heart finds its rhythm The songs that the old ones knew Chasing the flies through the endless night Chasing the flies through the endless night Where the heart finds its rhythm The songs that the old ones knew Chasing the flies through the endless night Where the heart finds its rhythm The songs that the old ones knew Chasing the flies through the endless night Chasing the flies through the endless night Where the heart finds its rhythm Where the heart finds its rhythm
