Song Lyrics

Last night she called across the
Northern seas from home
And told me about the morning that was breaking
And the love she kept inside
The California sun may have me on the run, but
Home is where my heart lies
Far beneath the grey skies
Home where my love keeps a song sung for me
Home where my thoughts keep on wandering
No matter where I might be

I've flown the world and watched
The sunset down in old Jamaica
I've crossed the mountains and the desserts
Where the western heroes sung
And I'll be back someday
As soon as I can get away
Those memories will never fade away, but
Home is where my heart lies
Far beneath the grey skies
Home where my love keeps a song sung for me
Home where my thoughts keep on wandering
No matter where I might be

I wanna be back home again
In the land where I belong
I wanna see my love again soon
Sitting in the evening sun

These days I won't ever regret
I've been so happy here, and yet
There is one thing I can't forget
Home is where my heart lies
Far beneath the grey skies

Take me back, take me back
To the land that I love
Won't you take me back
Take me back
