Joey Tempest A Place To Call Home Lyrics

A Place To Call Home Lyrics

I was out the front door like nothing was lost 

 wanted my freedom no matter what the cost 

 It made no difference what anyone said 

 I didn't follow my heart I followed my head 

 

 well a man is an island but the water is deep 

 and the shore on the other side is ragged and steep 

 well I built my castle for just one man 

 without the love of a woman it's made out of sand 

 

 the tower of strength with no one around 

 to pick me up when it all came down 

 well I should have known 

 we all need a place to call home o

 h yeah, uh huh 

 

 well you travel the highways and you travel the world 

 when there ain't much left you haven't seen or heard 

 to look for perfection is a lonely old ride 

 it takes a whole lot of courage and a whole lot of pride 

 

 and then one day when you really care 

 she touches your soul but you're far too scared 

 well I should have known 

 we all need a place to call home 

 oh yeah, uh huh, oh yeah 

 

 I'm trying everyday to find out more about myself 

 learning how to love now I need it from somebody else 

 Yeah, yeah Come poets and writers come spare me some time 

 come tell me the reason come tell me the rhyme 

 when you look for independence and you get what you want 

 how come you look back thinking "what have I done?" 

 but time and again it dawns on me 

 it's the price we pay for liberty 

 well I should have known 

 we all need a place to call home oh yeah, home 

 God I miss you tonight 

 we all need a place to call home oh yeah
