lyrics

MOTHERLAND
The wash machine is just 1/4 full
I only packed a few things for the flight
Christmas socks and a sweater knit from homespun wool
things to keep me warm alone at night

The February wind is whipping round
the 401 is closed down for the snow
a call goes straight to voicemail the loneliest of sounds
with three days left to kill until the show

I never dreamed I’d land in Holland Landing
In a country band with a rambling man
I had no understanding of being away from day to day
It isn’t something that I planned
I miss my babies back in motherland

You tell me everything is going fine
we all agree the weeks are going to fly
No matter how we listen things go missing across the line
I lose my voice before I start to cry

I tell you that the tour is going well
The crowds are sweet, and people here are kind
I ask about your homework but you don’t have much to tell
I’m feeling every minute of the hour that I’m behind

I never dreamed I’d land in Holland Landing
In a country band with a rambling man
I had no understanding of being away from day to day
It isn’t something that I planned
I miss my babies back in motherland

I hope you find the valentines I hid
I’ll bring a few treats home from the hotel
We’ll bake that batch of cookies
Just like we did when you were kids
And in my mind, I still can find the smell

I never dreamed I’d land in Holland Landing
In a country band with a rambling man
I had no understanding of being away from day to day
It isn’t something that I planned
I miss my babies back in motherland

I miss my babies...
