Tenderly Calling Lyrics - John Denver

This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the Different Directions album, and has also been released on The John Denver Collection - Sunshine On My Shoulder album. 

Home, come on home 

Ye who are weary come home 

Softly and tenderly calling 

Home, come on home 

Sometimes when I'm feeling lonesome 

And no one on earth seems to care 

I'm all by myself in the darkness 

With no one and nothing to share 

Just when it feels like it's hopeless 

And I'll never make it alone 

I hear the voices of angels 

Tenderly calling me home

Home, come on home 

Ye who are weary come home 

Softly and tenderly calling 

Home, come on home 

I try to keep it together 

I never let on that I'm scared 

Still sometimes I fall to pieces 

Scattered and lost everywhere 

Just when it feels like there's no one 

To mend all my broken down dreams 

I hear a voice deep inside me 

Tenderly calling to me 

Home, come on home 

Ye who are weary come home 

Softly and tenderly calling 

Home, come on home 

Photos 

So don't be afraid of the darkness 

And don't run away from the storm 

Stand up and face your reflection 

The feelings you try to ignore 

After the tempest is over 

You've let yourself come on through 

You'll hear a voice in the silence 

Tenderly calling to you 

Home, come on home 

Ye who are weary come home 

Softly and tenderly calling 

Home, come on home
