Heidi Wolfson is a Philadelphia singer-songwriter. In her fourth decade of making music, Heidi is taking a slightly softer approach... but her music remains vocally interesting and the lyrics are definitely worth checking out. If you like Patti Smith, you will probably like Heidi. Have fun and thanks for listening.

Story behind the song
I honestly don't remember, but this song is a keeper. I still bust it out from time to time.
Lyrics
GET ME BACK HOME (1978) (C chord 2 string open) (F chord with first two strings open) (run on open bass strings) I thought for a while that you weren't the same person I fell in love with You had the same face, and the same eyes, but not the same touch, or the same kiss There was a holding on and a letting go of this stranger that I lay with But when I touch your skin, I'm remembering And I'm feeling it, I'm feeling it all over again And it comes to mind, that maybe all of this time I was a stranger too So get me back home, get me back home to you Get me back home, get me back home to you You look at me in your subtle way, You don't need words; You've got your eyes As I search around for something to say, I feel so clumsy, so unwise If I could speak with my fingers, baby you know I'd tell you everything that I realize As I touch your skin, and I'm remembering And feeling it, I'm feeling it all over again And it comes to mind, that maybe all of this time I was a stranger too So get me back home, get me back home to you Get me back home, get me back home to you There are so many creases, so many islands, so many places to go And once you leave, it is so hard to get back; it is so hard to get home But your alone on the road, alone on an island, and I don't want to be alone So get me back home, get me back home to you Ohhh get me back home, get me back home to you
