about

Sally Balfour’s acoustic guitar and honey vocals melt in with delicate mandolin from Bill Chambers to take you on a journey of love and loss. Sally’s first ever single to be released, Calling Me Home, was inspired by Archie Roach and Ruby Hunter’s love story. Recorded, mixed and produced by Bill Chambers.

lyrics

I’m going to take the next fishing boat out of here
‘Coz when I wake in the morning it’s your voice I hear
And it’s been so long, since I’ve seen your face
My angel, my saving grace

My next journey I go alone
Your calling me darlin, calling me home
My next journey I go alone
Your calling me... Oh your calling me home

This morning I woke to the sound of a blackbirds call
He was sittin right above my head, on my window
And he sang to me in verse, in sweet soothing song
He was singing our love story, darling it wont long

My next journey I go alone
Your calling me darlin, calling me home
My next journey I go alone
Your calling me... Oh your calling me home

His song takes me back now to our very beginning
To our eternal melody that we were forever singing
But my hand feels so empty, alone by my side
And I ache for your touch, my darling bride

My next journey I go alone
Your calling me darlin, calling me home
My next journey I go alone
Your calling me... Oh your calling me home
