A heart needs a home

D

Some people say that I should forget you
I'm never gonna be a fool
I'm never gonna be a fool
A better life, they say, if I'd never met you
I'm never gonna be a fool
I'm never gonna be a fool

Tongues talk fire and eyes cry rivers
Indian givers, hearts of stone
Paper ships and painted faces
The world's no place when you're on your own
A heart needs a home
