A Heart Needs a Home [previously unreleased] Songtext
von Richard & Linda Thompson

I know the way
That I feel about you

I′m never gonna run away
I'm never gonna run away

Never knew the way
When I lived without you

I′m never gonna run away
I'm never gonna 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 gonna be a fool
I′m never gonna be a fool

Better life they say
If I'd never met you

I′m never gonna be a fool
I'm never gonna 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
