I want too many things in too many places I want a comfortable home that I'm always away from I want the Williamsburg Bridge I want the tower of London I just want to come home but there's so much to run from And every time I'm hangin' on the end of your phone line I think of all the fun we had and smile I wear your love ‘round my neck and your heart on my sleeve But I won't take you down with me I want people to know me I just want to be lonely I want to play this guitar 'till the day my heart fails me
I want the valley I came from I want the mountains of Germany I want Canadian winter I want you there to warm me And every time I'm flying into Sydney at night I think about your pretty face and smile I want my friends ‘round the world to be happy and healthy I want my tambourine heart to stop shaking inside me I want a kelpy named “Colin” I want a twelve year old whiskey And I want you to remember that I'll love you eternally
