|
Well I've been away such a long time now |
|
And my life has changed so much |
|
And I broke my promise that no matter how |
|
I would always keep in touch |
|
I could hear the whistle of the telephone wires |
|
I could hear the trains roll by |
|
If I can hear the whistle and the engine's whine |
|
Why can't I hear you cry |
|
That home is where the heart is |
|
Who's that knocking on your front door? |
|
Is it the friend that you never knew? |
|
Well why don't you make sure |
|
That home is where the heart is |
|
Three short steps & I'll be there |
|
Into the arms of the one you love |
|
And never roam no more |
|
Well you tracked me down to this foreign town |
|
Your long distance call came through |
|
And a voice that I'd not heard for years |
|
Said, Darlin', is that you? |
|
And a voice of my own said, I'll be there |
|
When I get these wheels to start |
|
And it's not my promise that I'll break this time |
|
But someone else's heart |
|
'Cause home is where the heart is |
|
Guess who's knocking at your front door? |
|
Is it the friend that you never knew? |
|
Well why don't you make sure |
|
That home is where the heart is |
|
Take those steps across the floor |
|
Into the arms of the one who loves you |
|
And never roam no more |
