Tyres wake the open road Music calls me out again silver morning over the water Green hills washed with rain I go where the wild notes rise From the highlands to the sea With every mile behind me I leave a part of me I sing into the distance Till the distance sings through me Music carries me home Carries me home Oh, carries me home tonight It wakes the sleeping sky Wakes the sleeping sky Till the dark gives way to light The road turns without warning And the landmarks disappear I lose the music inside me I forget what brought me here But somewhere in the silence Another note starts to rise I hear my own voice answer From the dark behind my skies I sing into the distance And the distance carries me Music carries me home Carries me home Oh, carries me home tonight It wakes the sleeping sky Wakes the sleeping sky Till the dark gives way to light Leave me in the stillness Where the long grass bends Soft voices in the mist Begin where silence ends No help comes through the darkness No light falls from above I follow my own singing Back to the place I love Music carries me home Carries me home Oh, carries me home tonight It wakes the sleeping sky Wakes the sleeping sky I’m turning towards the light Music carries me home My song knows where to go I followed my own music And it sang me home
