Lyrics

The first place I called home Was a roadhouse in Barton, Scotland I never saw it, I don't remember it And it doesn't exist anymore The next place I called home Was a little suburban house in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada It got torn down when they built a condominium Then we moved to another little suburban house in Baltimore And that got torn down when I-95 went through Then we moved to a nicer suburban house in Baltimore That got torn down when they put in a parking lot Home is where I want to be Pick me up and turn me around I feel numb, burn with a weak heart I guess I must be having fun The less we say about it, the better Make it up as we go along Feet on the ground, head in the sky It's okay, I know nothing's wrong, nothing Hi, we got plenty of time Hi, you got light in your eyes And you're standing here beside me I love the passing of time Never for money, always for love Cover up and say goodnight, say goodnight Home, is where I want to be But I guess I'm already there I come home, she lifted up her wings I guess that this must be the place I can't tell one from the other I find you, or you find me? There was a time before we were born If someone asks, this is where I'll be, where I'll be Hi, we drift in and out Hi, sing into my mouth Out of all those kinds of people You got a face with a view I'm just an animal looking for a home And share the same space for a minute or two And you love me 'til my heart stops Love me 'til I'm dead Eyes that light up, eyes look through you Cover up the blank spots, hit me on the head I got, "Ooh-ooh-ooh" Yeah
