Carole King - Homeless Heart lyrics

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
