A Wild Heart Looking For Home Lyrics - John Denver

This song was first released on the Dreamland Express album. It is the only album it has been released on. 

Life in the city gets all closed in 

When you stand in a crowd all alone 

Wishing that someone would call out your number 

Hoping that someone might phone 

Nights in the city can drive you crazy 

There's so very much going on 

Try to get quiet, you'll miss out on something 

Like someone who's looking for 

Someone who's looking... 

There, I almost got caught again 

Lost in the night all alone 

With nowhere to hide, crying inside 

A wild heart looking for home

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Sleeping without you is always cold 

The nights are so dark and so long 

Dreaming of touching your face in the moonlight 

Filling the silence with song 

Living without you the days are endless 

The clock winding steadily down 

Imagining footsteps, your hand at the gatepost 

The wind shuts the open door 

the wind shuts the open... 

There, I almost got caught again 

Lost in the night all alone 

With nowhere to hide, crying inside 

A wild heart looking for home 

The songbird, she trembles all day long 

She sings as if her poor heart must break 

Watching the freedom that flies past her window 

Dreaming won't fit in a cage 

Photos 

Fly away songbird, the wind she loves you 

Your prison is forsaken at last 

Follow your dreaming, you're bound up to heaven 

You're reaching for something more 

Reaching for something... 

There, I almost got caught again 

Lost in the night all alone 

With nowhere to hide, crying inside 

A wild heart looking for home 

There, I thought of your face again 

A vision to have and to hold 

My spirit still sings, I'm flying again 

A wild heart looking for home 

A wild heart looking for home
