Lyrics
At Home - Joshua Tree v9
[Intro]
My home.
A place
[Verse]
I knew so well.
Comforting, rolling hills of forest green
and crisp, moist morning air,
wide open nature all around it,
yet safety in its sturdy walls.
[Chorus]
But then I walked
hundreds of miles
on California‘s desert‘s dusty sands.
[Verse 2]
And then one night,
sunburned, legs scraped, dirty, sweating,
stumbling drunkenly through gusting winds,
my skin aflame from grinding sand,
I called defeat and hid my battered body
behind a creaking joshua tree,
and fell asleep.
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
And slept so well
amid the scorpions, snakes and critters,
dirt blowing wildly just an inch above my head,
my quilt aflutter in the storm,
under a blurry canopy of stars,
just me and wind and dirt and my new friend,
the joshua tree.
[Verse 4]
And when I woke
I felt at home like I had never felt before
in this harsh, barren place that had no name
and would soon just be memory,
yet taught me joy and deepest trust
in a moment when I felt so weak.
I learned to see
[Chorus 2]
after I walked
hundreds of miles
in dirt and and heat and battering wind.
[Bridge]
[Verse 5]
A home,
I found it in the desert.
Amidst coyotes howling and dust blowing
I finally became nature,
and nature became me,
right there, behind that joshua tree.
[Chorus 2]
after I walked
hundreds of miles
in dirt and and heat and battering wind.
[Melancholy]
My home!
[Outro]
[End]
My home.
A place

Comforting, rolling hills of forest green
and crisp, moist morning air,
wide open nature all around it,
yet safety in its sturdy walls.

But then I walked

on California‘s desert‘s dusty sands.
[Verse 2]
And then one night,
sunburned, legs scraped, dirty, sweating,
stumbling drunkenly through gusting winds,
my skin aflame from grinding sand,
I called defeat and hid my battered body
behind a creaking joshua tree,
and fell asleep.

And slept so well
amid the scorpions, snakes and critters,
