Tenderly Calling
This song appears on two albums, & was first released on the different directions album, & has also been released on the john denver collection - sunshine on my shoulder album.
Home, come on home
Ye who are weary come home
Softly & tenderly calling
Home, come on home
Sometimes when i'm feeling lonesome
And no one on earth seems to care
I'm all by myself in the darkness
With no one & nothing to share
Just when it feels like it's hopeless
And i'll never make it alone
I hear the voices of angels
Tenderly calling me home
Home, come on home
Ye who are weary come home
Softly & tenderly calling
Home, come on home
I try to keep it together
I never let on that i'm scared
Still sometimes i fall to pieces
Scattered & lost everywhere
Just when it feels like there's no one
To mend all my broken down dreams
I hear a voice deep inside me
Tenderly calling to me
Home, come on home
Ye who are weary come home
Softly & tenderly calling
Home, come on home
So don't be afraid of the darkness
And don't run away from the storm
Stand up & face your reflection
The feelings you try to ignore
After the tempest is over
You've let yourself come on through
You'll hear a voice in the silence
Tenderly calling to you
Home, come on home
Ye who are weary come home
Softly & tenderly calling
Home, come on home
