Emmylou Harris - Calling my children home

^DThose lives were mine to love and cherish. To guard and guide along life's w^Aay. Oh God for^Dbid that one should perish. That one alas should go as^Atray.

^DBack in the years with all together, Around the place we'd romp and p^Alay. So lonely n^Dow and oft' times wonder, Oh will they ^Acome back home some d^Day.

^DI'm lonesome for my precious children, They live so far ^Aaway. Oh may they h^Dear my calling... Calling.. And come back h^Aome some d^Day.

^DI gave my all for my dear children, Their problems still with love I s^Ahare, I'd brave life's st^Dorm, defy the tempest To bring them h^Aome from anywh^Dere.

^DI lived my life my love I gave them, To guide them through this world of st^Arife, I hope and p^Dray we'll live together, In that great g^Alad here after l^Dife.

^DI'm lonesome for my precious children, They live so far a^Away. Oh may they h^Dear my calling... Calling.. And come back h^Aome some d^Day.
