Land Called Home Lyrics


Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
Though the world is sleeping, my eyes are open
Yet it's me that's dreaming that I'm flying over mountaintops
I am crossing an ocean where at the end I see
I see a beautiful far away land called homeAnd them stars they sure are pretty
And while I do admire the distance their light it travels
To shine down on me
Still I would go further than the furthest star shineJust to find myself walking in a beautiful faraway land called home
Wanna find myself walking in a beautiful faraway land called home
And you can take all the money in all of the banks
You can take all the fame in HollywoodYou can take all the pretty girls in Paris, France

You can take my own name if you think it'll do you some good
You can take all them things that perish
And you can throw them all right in the sea'Cause ain't but only one thing that matters
Ain't but only one jewel in this world
Ain't but only one feeling of all of life's feeling that I wanna feel
That is the feeling of a beautiful far away land called home

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Jim White is a southern gothic alt-country singer-songwriter. He has released four albums as a solo artist.

While his music is based in americana, he borrows elements from rock, rhythm and blues, and even electronica, often piecing sounds together in the lo-fi cut-and-paste fashion of artists like Tom Waits. His albums have featured a wide variety of collaborators, such as Victoria Williams, Morcheeba, Aimee Mann, Barenaked Ladies, and Joe Henry. He is signed to David Byrne's Luaka Bop label and appeared in the BBC documentary, Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus, which looks at musicians inspired by the culture of the American South.

Not be confused with the acclaimed Dirty Three / Cat Power / Smog / P. J. Harvey / Nina Nastasia drummer, who also had a recent collaboration album "You Follow Me" with Nastasia under the name of Nina Nastasia And Jim White
