Lyrics

If Home is Where the Heart Is
 
The moon is a sliver, a silver eyelash and the night is sinking down slow
Jesus knows no one believes you in your hometown but there’s no place else I want to go
If home is where the heart is, my home is the starry night sky
If home is where the heart is, I guess I’ll be rambling til the day I die
 
Lillo, she’s a sad one. Burned like a beautiful bonfire. She turned heads without hardly trying
An outlaw, she courted the darkness, said her “I dos”. Now disappearing’s just a slow way of dying
If home is where the heart is, I guess she’s off some ways away
If home is where the heart is, all of my praying would not make her stay
 
In the still of the nighttime this house speaks to me, and I write down the words
Deep in my dreams I hear the voices tell me stories. I wake up singing all that I heard
 
If home is where the heart is, why does my heart keep leaving me?
If home is where the heart is, I guess homesickness feels like home to me
 
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la, la
