Lyrics
______________________________________________________________________


the window frames a winter story

and chills me to the bone

the moonlight falls in all her glory

but it's no good alone


the candle burns away so slowly

and just takes away the time

I'm too young to be this lonely

I should be feelin' fine


goin' back home to the Sweetwood

on my way back home

to see you if I could just see your eyes

then the sun would rise again for me


(pedal steel solo)


the storm beats hard against my doorway

and the cold winds moan

I played my cards, gonna head back your way

or be sinkin' like a stone


goin' back home to the Sweetwood

on my way back home

to see you if I could just see your eyes

then the sun would rise again for me


goin' back home to the Sweetwood

on my way back home

to see you if I could just see your eyes

then the sun would rise again for me
