Homeward Bound (Arr. J. Althouse for Choir)

In the quiet, misty morning
 When the moon has gone to bed
 When the sparrows stop their singing
 And the sky is clear and red
 When the summer's ceased its gleaming
 When the corn is past its prime
 When adventure's lost its meaning
 I'll be homeward bound in time
 Bind me not
 To the pasture!
 Chain me not
 To the plough!
 Set me free
 To find my calling!
 And I'll return to you somehow
 ♪
 If you find it's me you're missing
 If you're hoping I'll return
 ♪
 To your thoughts I'll soon be racing
 In the road, I'll stop and turn
 Then the wind will set me racing
 As my journey nears its end
 On the path I'll be retracing
 When I'm homeward bound again
 Bind me not
 To the pasture!
 Chain me not
 To the plough!
 Set me free
 To find my calling!
 And I'll return to you somehow
 ♪
 In the quiet misty morning
 When the moon has gone to bed
 When the sparrows stop their singing
 I'll be homeward bound again
