This song, written by John Smith, is deeply meaningful to me. I was asked to be part of singing this song at my dear friend and singing partner Barbara's memorial service. Its message and beauty begged me to create my own version and share it with all of you. It was also the very last song that my aunt Ellen heard as she was taking her last breath. The lyrics are hauntingly beautiful and symbolic for someone who is in transition.It captures the mixed emotions of parting ways after a journey, whether it be a physical or a metaphorical one. Safe Home is a reminder of the bittersweet nature of life's journeys and the importance of cherishing the moments we have with the people we meet along the way. • Sound engineered by: / @cellardoorsound • Here are the lyrics: • We've come through the valleys, • we've come through the fields, • We've cross over rivers, • to find ourselves here. • We sang songs of laughter, • we sang songs of love, • Let's sing one more together, • to send ourselves off. • Safe home, safe home, • safe home will you go. • May the light of the moon • smile down on your road. • Safe home, safe home, • safe home will you go, • Until I next see you, • safe home will you go. • We've laid down our worries, • our troubles, our fears, • Like shells on the strand wash, • by laughter and tears. • But the tide has returned now, • to lift us away, • Back to our houses • and families we pray. • Safe home, safe home, ... • Well the fiddles are quiet, • the whistles all still, • Only echoes remain • from the jigs and the reels. • The dance floor is empty, • our farewells all said. • Now it's time to be going, • 'til we all meet again. • Safe home, safe home, ...
