Home Is Where the Heart Is - Lyrics - Fairport Convention

Well I've been away such a long time now And my life has changed so much And I broke my promise that no matter how I would always keep in touch I could hear the whistle of the telephone wires I could hear the trains roll by If I can hear the whistle and the engine's whine Why can't I hear you cry That home is where the heart is Who's that knocking on your front door? Is it the friend that you never knew? Well why don't you make sure That home is where the heart is Three short steps & I'll be there Into the arms of the one you love And never roam no more Well you tracked me down to this foreign town Your long distance call came through And a voice that I'd not heard for years Said, Darlin', is that you? And a voice of my own said, I'll be there When I get these wheels to start And it's not my promise that I'll break this time But someone else's heart 'Cause home is where the heart is Guess who's knocking at your front door? Is it the friend that you never knew? Well why don't you make sure That home is where the heart is Take those steps across the floor Into the arms of the one who loves you And never roam no more
