Carole King Homeless Heart Lyrics

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
