Lyrics My Hometown - Eilen Jewell

My Hometown

If sweetness had a sound
It would sound like my hometown
The summer sprinklers turning on
The endless ice cream song
Cold river rushing by
The ducks and geese in flight
The silence in between
All the sights unseen
It would sound like my hometown
If sweetness had a sound
If kindness could be held
It would feel like where I’m from
The soft greeting of a neighbor
The warm hand of a stranger
Patience each with the other
Embracing a sister or brother
If I could hold it in my palm
To the world I’d pass it on
Or to any who might not have found
The kindness of my hometown
If sweetness had a sound
It would sound like my hometown
The summer sprinklers turning on
The endless ice cream song
Cold river rushing by
The ducks and geese in flight
The silence in between
All the sights unseen
It would sound like my hometown
If sweetness had a sound
