Long Island Shores - Mindy Smith

Oh my soul craves to go home

to long island shores again

take me back to old north Walk?

to breathe in the harbor wind.

I’ll be leaving Tennessee on the first plane

Sunday gone to my family reunion

There my father preached at the church

On the corner of Old Nickels Road

He raised four children in a green house

We are all well and now we are all grown

There my mother Sharron lies deep in the earth of the long island shores

I will visit her grave and plant yellow roses at her stone

I’ll be leaving Tennessee on the first plane

Sunday gone to my family reunion

I’ll be leaving

Gone to my family reunion

Oh my soul craves to go home.
