[Verse 1] ? took the lights hanging from the Shelby Bridge Reaching out across the Cumberland to the east And though the heat from this coffee cup warms my fingers to the bone My heart is far from Nashville, Tennessee See my lover she lies waiting over salt and sea Over tenthousand miles what we call home And the only consolation I can lean upon Is knowing love, even when were alone [Chorus] Cause theres a sound I hear It echoes through my bones Its bellowing cry Ive heard before Like the evening stars guide the sailor home Honey Ill answer the call [Verse 2] I know our words are tainted with a crackle now and then But I know its something were both strong enough to take And when I say I love you, well it carries no less weight When youre safe in my arms upon my bed Cause Im here for a while, and thats something I cant change If I could, you know well that Ill be there There aint nothing left to fear, darling Im all yours And Ill try my very best to let you know [Chorus] Cause theres a sound I hear It echoes through my bones Its bellowing cry Ive heard before Like the evening stars guide the sailor home Honey Ill answer the call [Interlude] [Chorus] Cause theres a sound I hear It echoes through my bones Its bellowing cry Ive heard before Like the evening stars guide the sailor home Honey Ill answer the call
