Standard (EADGBE)

I am holding half an acre

Torn fromthemap of Michigan

 And folded in this scrap of paper

 Is the land I grew in

Think of every town you've lived in

Every room you lay your head

 And what is it that you remember

 Do you carry every sadness with you

Every hour your heart was broken

Every night the fear and darkness

Lay down with you

 A man is walking on the highway

 A woman stares out at the sea

 And light is only now just breaking

 So we carry every sadness with us

Every hour our hearts were broken

Every night the fear and darkness

Lay down with us

 But I am holding half an acre

Torn fromthemap of Michigan

 And folded in this scrap of paper

 That can crack the darkest sky wide open

Every burden taken from me

Every night my heart unfolding

[ends on ]

My home
