Homeless Heart

The lantern moon hung high and gold

In the cold November sky

The locust sang a midnight song

And starlight wind was a sigh

And you moved me with no hand

Like the moon moves the sea

What I wouldn't give for the love that used to be

The icy roofs below me now

Shelter all the souls within

But oh, nothing shelters me

From the thought of what could have been

Why does laughter remembered

Always lead me to tears

I've got the life I want, but I don't have what I need

Homeless heart

Why do you do this to yourself

Homeless heart

You ought to leave the dust on the shelf

Homeless heart

There must be someone else in the dark

With a homeless, homeless, homeless heart

I ache in a place so deep

I can't hide, even in my sleep

Slow torture

If you walked in on me right now

I'd love you so hard

You'd wonder how

You let me go

Why did you let me go

The telephone, just sitting there

Brings your number to my mind

Another piece of yesterday

That I should be leaving behind

Will I make it to the morning

Without hearing your voice

Or will I surrender to my

Homeless heart

Why do you do this to yourself

Homeless heart

You ought to leave the dust on the shelf

Homeless heart

There must be someone else in the dark

With a homeless, homeless, homeless heart
