Well I'll never be a stranger You're My Home
(Recorded July 1980, Bijou, Washington, D.C. Piano Man) Corny but true. I was broke at the time ('73) so I wrote this for my wife as a Valentine's Day gift. (From Songs In Attic liner notes) Billy and Elizabeth Joel circa 1981,
possibly at the Grammy Awards. |
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 Whenever we're together, that's my home Home can 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 alright my love 'cause you're my home If I travel all my life And I never get to 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 You're my home "You're My Home" from the video Billy Joel Tonight (1976)
