about

This one is also for my cats. I put the cat songs together. For convenience. This one was written within about 2 weeks of them moving in. We refer to it as “finding a forever-home” when an animal gets adopted. They’re home. I’m theirs forever. That’s all this one’s about.

And y'know what? I really hated that phrase until I adopted these guys. (I still don't like when people spell it "fur-ever home.")

lyrics

It started out with wanting you.
It turned into needing you.
Pretty soon I was dreaming of you.
And here you are.
I’d been looking for you.
Started working for you.
Now I simply adore you.
‘Cause here you are.

Welcome home.

Infatuated with you,
I waited for you.
Even prayed over you.
And here you are.
I’d pay any cost for you;
to fall asleep beneath you.
Turns out my heart, it beats for you.
And here you are.

Welcome home.

Before you came,
I was content to live alone.
Who rescued who?
You rescued me from all I’d known.
So when you see me smile at you,
I hope you know you are
forever home.

Just look at you!
Baby, just look at you!
Sweetheart, just look at you!
Here you are.
Soft but dangerous.
We were strangers, but,
now nothing can end this love.
‘Cause here you are.

Welcome home.

Before you came,
I was content to live alone.
Who rescued who?
You rescued me from all I’d known.
So when you see me smile at you,
I hope you know you are
forever home.

Welcome home.
You are my home.

Wheel within a Wheel
by Grace Basement

Grace Basement's driving force is Kevin Buckley. I went to high school with him and he was a great musician even then. Like fine wine, his music has gotten even more wonderful over time. Derek Brink
