[Verse 1] I found a foxglove cart By the creek cut through the rye Paint peeled in curly strips Like a map the moths could read There was jam in a blue tin cup And a ring of borrowed keys You said, "Meet me by the fence" Where the blackbirds keep the breeze [Pre-Chorus] Now the lane leans low And the willow knows my name I carry three hard apples And a hymn with a bruise in it [Chorus] Come home, come home Through the foxglove rows Come home, come home Where the cold wind goes Oh my darling, oh my darling Leave the dust and stones Come home, come home To the foxglove cart [Verse 2] Your shirt hung on the peach limb Like a flag with a secret wound I heard the screen door sigh In the hour when the swans came through The well kept your face In a silvered shard of rain I dipped my hands and laughed When the water spoke your name [Pre-Chorus] Now the lane leans low And the willow knows my name I carry three hard apples And a hymn with a bruise in it [Chorus] Come home, come home Through the foxglove rows Come home, come home Where the cold wind goes Oh my darling, oh my darling Leave the dust and stones Come home, come home To the foxglove cart [Bridge] I saw you in the cornfield With a crow on your shoulder bone You said the earth is patient And the rain will find us home So I laid my coat in the nettles And I listened to the ground Even the dark was tender When it turned the foxglove round [Final Chorus] Come home, come home Through the foxglove rows Come home, come home Where the cold wind goes Oh my darling, oh my darling Leave the dust and stones Come home, come home To the foxglove cart Come home, come home Till the morning shows Come home, come home Where the foxglove grows
