Colors of Home

Music and lyrics by G. Gothard. Arranged by the Gothard Sisters.
Recorded on the Midnight Sun album in 2018.

They came from all over, blazing a trail
Like the snow that melts swiftly, from the peaks to the coast
They made a place there, for me to know
Like a tapestry woven, the colors of home

I miss the evergreen trees
I miss the comforting rain
I miss the grey of each misty new day
I miss the colors of my home
I miss the way the air feels
I miss the way that I know I belong
I miss the colors of my home

I grew up running pine needle trails
Moss green of the forest, the seagull’s bright call
Copper sunsets on a sapphire sea
Wide open spaces, as far as I can see

I miss the evergreen trees
I miss the comforting rain
I miss the grey of each misty new day
I miss the colors of my home
I miss the way the air feels
I miss the way that I know I belong
I miss the colors of my home

Call me back!
To the windswept beaches
Call me back!
To the fresh salt air
Call me back!
To the mountain reaches
Call me back!
Oh I feel so far away

They paint a memory, a part of me
It’s gold like the lightning that strikes violet skies
Crimson canyon, the evening’s red flame
Hear the chorus of voices calling my name

I miss the evergreen trees
I miss the comforting rain
I miss the grey of each misty new day
I miss the colors of my home
I miss the way the air feels
I miss the way that I know I belong
I miss the colors of my home

I miss the evergreen trees
I miss the comforting rain
I miss the grey of each misty new day
I miss the colors of my home
I miss the way the air feels
I miss the way that I know I belong
I miss the colors of my home
