Story behind the song
living in morocco and finally threw away my long-time sleeping bag, ragged and torn... along with whatever else wouldn't fit in my back pack for the trip back to the USA ::
Lyrics
a babe who's lost her swaddling clothes, can you take me to a home? wrap me up in care and grace, steep me in some warm embrace : this sleeping bag's my token comfort, can you tell me where i come from? wrap me up in safe confinement, cover me so softly : i have made it through another year, knowing only the vaguest sense of fear, whispering, none of this means, anything ::
