When you look into my eyes And you see the crazy gypsy in my soul It always comes as a surprise When I feel my withered roots begin to grow Well I never had a place That I could call my very own But that's all right my love 'Cause you're my home When you touch my weary head And you tell me everything will be all right You say use my body for your bed And my love will keep you warm throughout the night Well I'll never be a stranger And I'll never be alone Wherever we're together That's my home Home could be the Pennsylvania turnpike Indiana's early morning dew High up in the hills of California Home is just another word for you Well I never had a place that I could call my very own But that's all right my love 'cause you're my home If I travel all my life And I never get stop and settle down Long as I have you by my side There's a roof above and good walls all around You're my castle, you're my cabin And my instant pleasure dome I need you in my house 'Cause you're my home You're my home
