Jaspar Lepak: Carry Me Home

Описание: Here’s another song for you as part of my new Fridays at Noon video series! I’m releasing a new song most Fridays at 12pm CT—so be sure to subscribe! You’ll hear unreleased originals, deep cuts, old favorites (like this one!), and the occasional cover. Want to stay in the loop?

“Carry Me Home” is an original song I wrote for the character Tori Cassidy in Finn, a novel by New York Times bestselling author JoAnn Ross. JoAnn first heard me singing at a farmers market while she was working on the story, and that moment inspired her to make Tori a songwriter. In the book, Tori performs this song for Finn, and the lyrics appear in the story.

Carry Me Home: Jaspar Lepak © 2017

Love has never been an easy game
I always lose the final round
Home has never been a certain place
It always moves when I start to settle down

I have sailed to every distant sea
I leave love before love can leave me
It feels much easier to lose than keep
These dreams of home

Carry me home, carry me home
Carry me home, carry me home

My foolish heart is like a gypsy wind
A lonely ship, a skipping stone
Tossed by lovers lies and promises
Fated to wander and to roam

Then I found you in the wilderness
You melted years of ice with just one kiss
Beneath the tough skin of our surfaces
We found a home

Carry me home, carry me home
Carry me home, carry me home

You feel like the sunlight
Of my childhood days
When love filled up my family
And family kept me safe

Carry me home, carry me home
Carry me home, carry me home (X2)
