Heart, Home

This heart needs a home
To keep it from stumbling
Out in the street
To keep it from suffering
A night without sleep
To keep it from dying.

Just a home with a room
To keep out the lightening
When it's thundering down
And the words grab the anger
And come dancing around
This shattered foundation.

When I close my eyes
I dream through the night
I dream I'm an angel just learning to fly
Brought up by the winds
And I'm taught by the clouds
When I open my eyes
I'm still on the ground.

This heart needs a home.

Hell, when I close my eyes
I dream through the night
I dream I'm an angel just learning to fly
Brought up by the winds
And I'm taught by the clouds
When I open my eyes
I'm still on the ground.

This heart needs a home
To keep it from stumbling
Out in the street
To keep it from suffering
A night without sleeping
To keep it from dying.

This heart needs a home
This home needs a heart
This heart needs a home
A home with some heart.
