RICHARD THOMPSON lyrics - A Heart Needs A Home

(Richard Thompson)



I know the way

That I feel about you

I'm never going to run away

I'm never going to run away

Never knew the way

When I lived without you

I'm never going to run away

I'm never going to run away



I came to you when

No one could hear me

I'm sick and weary

Of being alone

Empty streets and

Hungry faces

The world's no place when

You're on your own

A heart needs a home



Some people say

That I should forget you

I'm never going to be a fool

I'm never going to be a fool

A better life, they say

If I'd never met you

I'm never going to be a fool

I'm never going to be a fool



Tongues talk fire and

Eyes cry rivers

Indian givers

Hearts of stone

Paper ships and

Painted faces

The world's no place when

You're on your own

A heart needs a home
