Losing My Accent

from Welcome Home by Red Collar

/

lyrics

I think of lullabies when I think of home
A bible and ice cream cones
Sundays we praised you lord
And some team you root for

Remember tucking me to bed?
Fables good and bad
Your wrongs and your rights
You kept ghosts away at night

I remember feeling so much pride
When the world would say we’re alike
But now I don’t know
Oh I hope it’s not so

For every ghost you chased away
You welcomed another to stay
Like an accent I can’t lose
An heirloom compass confused

Now I can’t find my North
I see-saw back and forth
An old man in a rocking chair
Unsure if he’s still there

Oh my home it seems so far away
Oh my home it’s not so far away

Oh my home it seems so far away
Oh my home it’s not so far away
