[Verse 1: John Legend]
My face to the sky, my back to the wind
Winter is entering my bones
The day has been long and night's drawing in
And I'm thinking of heading for home
Yeah, I'm thinking of heading for home

[Verse 2: Rufus Wainwright]
The cradle and the grave, the fruit and the seed
The seasons mirror my own
The geese flying south are calling to me
And I'm thinking of heading for home
Yeah, I'm thinking of heading for home

[Verse 3: John Legend and Rufus Wainwright]
Always on the move with banner unfurled
Yet gathering moss on the stone
Oh, I sing for the children and cry for the world
And I'm thinking of heading for homе
Yeah, I'm thinking of heading for home

[Verse 4: Rufus Wainwright]
As timе's my old friend and death my new kin
I'm not taking this journey alone
I am old, I am young, I am all that I've been
And I'm thinking of heading for home
Yeah, I'm thinking of heading for home
[Verse 5: John Legend]
The memory of love will burn in my heart
Till embers and ashes are gone
The light in your window is my northern star
And I'm thinking of heading for home
Yeah, I'm thinking of heading for home

[Outro: Rufus Wainwright and John Legend]
And it's time I was heading for home
Yeah, it's time I was heading for home
