This song was originally intended as a house-warming gift for Kaer Trouz (whose music, kindness and wine expertise has been sweetly and freely given). Ditto Ditto is the author of the music; a warm and friendly bed of welcoming sounds in which I set my original lyrics (not complex, but simple
expressions).
Later, Kaer herself added some backing vocals which to me sounded like a choir of French School-children’s angels floating in and around the vocals. Finally, “Subliminal” remixed the whole thing into a lush tapestry. This was a really fun project to be a part of!

Lyrics:

welcome home
its where your heart is
you’re not alone
everything you love is here
everything you love is here

Through all seasons
sunshine and rain
these walls enclose and soothe
every joy or pain
every pain…or joy……….

outside the windows
gardens and trees
pastures and hillsides
stretch towards the sea (miles and miles out to sea)

The world awaits you
with open hands
small town or city
your friends may be found
(yes your friends may be found)

But always a welcome
resides in your soul
when through these doors
in my arms enfold
in my arms enfold………..

(additional French Lyrics)

Jour après mois
Qu’il chauffe ou pleuve
Ces murs nichent et couvent
Tes joies et tes peines
Tes peines et tes joies

Ce monde-là t’attend
Les mains grandes ouvertes
De ville en village
Tes amis tu les trouveras
Ça oui, tu les trouveras
