Tenderly Calling

This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the different directions album, and has also been released on the john denver collection - sunshine on my shoulder album.





Home, come on home

Ye who are weary come home

Softly and tenderly calling

Home, come on home



Sometimes when i'm feeling lonesome

And no one on earth seems to care

I'm all by myself in the darkness

With no one and nothing to share



Just when it feels like it's hopeless

And i'll never make it alone

I hear the voices of angels

Tenderly calling me home



Home, come on home

Ye who are weary come home

Softly and tenderly calling

Home, come on home



I try to keep it together

I never let on that i'm scared

Still sometimes i fall to pieces

Scattered and lost everywhere



Just when it feels like there's no one

To mend all my broken down dreams

I hear a voice deep inside me

Tenderly calling to me



Home, come on home

Ye who are weary come home

Softly and tenderly calling

Home, come on home



So don't be afraid of the darkness

And don't run away from the storm

Stand up and face your reflection

The feelings you try to ignore



After the tempest is over

You've let yourself come on through

You'll hear a voice in the silence

Tenderly calling to you



Home, come on home

Ye who are weary come home

Softly and tenderly calling

Home, come on home
