My Kentucky friend,
dance a song for me.
Make
it high and heard above the rain
It's falling so free
We've been gone so long
Longer than we've known
It seems to me It's my way home
Watching greyhounds roll
Through the giant dawn mirror
I see it all the way
today
It goes on and on
Till the lady cries How she's so alone
Till longing dies It's my way home
Lost in a dream Where windows
open out on stars
Reaching to touch
And touching what was almost ours
Hey
Kentucky friend
Moonlight
on your skin
Rising from a dream
You're nothing more
Than what you pretend We've been gone so long
It's over now It's my way home
