I need a place to call home 
I need a place to call my own 

I better read between the lines 
In case I need it when I'm old 
Another drink of bordeau wine 
It's good for boredom 
I've been told 

Another glass a fine cigar 
Another trip to another bar 
She told me man I can't be sold 
I told her keep your heart of gold 

In case you need it when you're old 
I've been a fool I've been abused 
I've been constantly misused 
I've been a stranger to myself 
Playing the part of someone else 

I'm not ready for the wind 
I'm not ready for the rain 
It's not easy filling in 
I need a place to call home 

I used to find it in the shows 
In every whisper every roar 
It sounds pathetic but I swear 
I used to find it everywhere 

I should have read between the lines 
I used to see it now I'm old 
Another glass of bordeaux wine 
It's good for boredom 
I've been told 

I'm not ready for the wind 
I'm not ready for the rain 
It's not easy filling in 
I need a place to call home
