Polly Come Home
Alison Krauss (And Union Station) · Other Songs - Alison Krauss (And Union Station)
She'd tell of places you had been
She's been in my dreams
And she knows all the ways of the wind
[Chorus:]
Polly, come home again
Spread your wings to the wind
I felt much of the pain
As it begins
Dreams cover much time
Still they leave blind
The will to begin
I searched for you there
And now look for you from within
[Chorus]
