about

A ballad written for my homes, Scotland who beckons me and North Carolina, my nest.

lyrics

You roll over me like a Brontide in summer
You beckon me true like a lad calls his lover
I am seas away, Oh the miles I would cover!
To lay in your fields again

My clarion call is the raven in winter
She sings to me "Oh dear Sister! Don't linger!"
I hear your old bell, and your salty wind whisper
"Come lay in my fields again!"

Come Lay
Come Lay
Come Lay you down

I've built a good hearth here in North Carolina
Whelving down roots in a soil that is kinder
Healed in the shadow of Mountain Grandmother
I have found new fields, my friend

I'll lay
I'll lay
I'll lay me down

When I am old
And my bairns are all grown
I'll lay in your fields again

I will be your young lass again
