Homeless Heart Lyrics - City Streets - Carole King

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 

Photos 

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
