Different ceiling staring back at me
Different birds outside a borrowed sill
Half a planet from the place I'd be
Loving every minute, missing still
It's not the walls, it's not the welcome mat
It's the way the evening used to fall
The smell of something simple on the stove
A voice that knew my name down the hall
So far from the kitchen light
But I carry it inside
Tucked beneath the wonder of the night
That little glow won't ever leave my side
Far, so far, and yet so near
Home's a feeling I can carry here
I'd never trade this open road I roam
Every stranger's kindness, every view
But there's a softness only known as home
That follows me in everything I do
So far from the kitchen light
But I carry it inside
Tucked beneath the wonder of the night
That little glow won't ever leave my side
Far, so far, and yet so near
Home's a feeling I can carry here
Maybe home was never just a place to be
More a way of being held that travels right with me
So I'll wander wide and I'll wander far
Knowing where my quiet keeper-lights are
So far from the kitchen light
But I carry it inside
Tucked beneath the wonder of the night
That little glow won't ever leave my side
Far, so far, and yet so near
Home's a feeling I can carry here
