STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

so i went to a concert last night to see lucy kaplansky and jennifer kimball (at the worldcafe live here in philly) and while there heard one of lucy's new songs...called this is home. her new album is called the red thread and it's about this ancient chinese belief that when babies are born they have a red thread attached from them to everybody else they are destined to come into contact with in thier entire life. this thread will stretch and tangle but will never break. she has a three year old daughter, molly, that she adopted from china and she had this one song that made me think of you, this is home, it's a gorgeous song! here's the lyrics!

This Is Home
   ------Lucy Kaplansky

When I found you
I knew that you'd be mine
It wasn't my first kiss, it wasn't my first time
But it was the first time I gave my heart, when I wasn't just alone
I put it in your hands and I followed you home

Now I'm heading east on 80
Wishing I could sleep
I see you lying in our bed, you're waiting up for me
And while I'm taking in the view
I'm wishing I could give you, what I wanted to
You know I wanted to

And this is Home
Where I want to be
This is home
Lets make a family
Baby you and me
Baby you and me

She's lying on a bed in some crowded room
She's trying to sleep
There's not much else to do
The faces change around her
They speak to her sometimes
She's getting used to being left behind

When we find her
We'll belong to her
We won't see her first smile, we won't hear her first word
But ours will be the first heart she holds in her hands
She can keep them beside her in her very own room

This is Home
Where I want to be
This is Home
Let's make a family
This is Home
Where I want to be
This is home
Let's make a family
Baby you and me
Baby you and me
