:::Band walks on stage from side left (no steps), jostling one another and laughing::: :::drummer, bass, lead guitar take their places:::
:::Rattlesnake Joe, the lead singer, walks to the front of the stage and takes mic in hand:::
Well, how be y'all tonight. We be here for a rousing good time, so enjoy.
:::picks up acoustic guitar with pickup:::
Mateys, we be startin' off with song reminiscent of Old Earth Rock/Country and lyrics that'll getch when you not be looking.
And a one, two, three...
:::starts off with a driving country/rock rhythm:::
Listen in the cave of your heart,
the silence echos your name.
Do you answer the call
to come home again?
It's the voice you hear in your dreams,
it's the wind blowing in your hair.
Sometimes it's not what it seems;
sometimes it's hardly there.
But listen in the cave of your heart,
the silence echos your name.
Do you answer the call
to come home again?
:::softens up a bit:::
It's calling, calling you,
like your own true love.
It's calling, calling you,
like a voice from heaven above.
It's calling you like a child
who needed something so much.
And you just might find it
if you go deep enough,
deep enough.
:::Picks up speed:::
How deep will you go
to come back home?
And how sweet when you know
that you're not alone.
That somewhere in the silence
you'll find your heart's own song.
everybody be dancing
when you sing along,
sing along.
:::quietly, almost a whisper:::
Listen in the cave of your heart,
the silence echos your name.
Do you answer the call
to come home again?
:::picks up again:::
It's calling, calling you,
if only you can hear.
It's calling, calling you
from the past, and yet it's so clear.
It's calling you like your spirit
whispering in your ear.
And you just might find it
if you go deep enough,
deep enough.
:::rocks out:::
How deep will you go
to come back home?
And how sweet when you know
that you're not alone.
That somewhere in the silence
you'll find your heart's own song.
Everybody be dancing
when you sing along,
sing along.
:::softens for the close:::
Listen in the cave of your heart,
the silence echos your name.
Do you answer the call
to come home again?
