Called Home - Over the Rhine

Just shy of Breakin' Down

There’s a bend in the road that I have found

Take a left at loneliness

There’s a place to find forgiveness

With clouds adrift across the sky

Like heaven’s laundry hung to dry

You slowly feel it all will be revealed

Where evening shadows come to fall

On the awful and the beautiful

Every wound you feel that needs to heal

And silence yearns to hear herself

Some long lost memory rings a bell

Old pre-Civil War brick house

Standin' tall and straight somehow

Mailbox full of weariness

And a word of hard won happiness

Leave behind your Sunday best

You know we couldn’t care a less

Out here we’ve learned to leave the edges wild

And stories they get passed around

And laughter — it gets handed down

Read it in the lines around a smile

Our bodies' motion comes to rest

When we are at last
