Home Sweet Home Lyrics by John Squire

Joe Louis

2002

Shapes in the dark exchanging their currency
In the 21st century, you get no change
Sure-footed, walk and go, and a mouthful of hate
You could use a break
Take a look around your home
You deserve a little better
And the name on her letter was freak
In the streets you're walking, follow your ear
Like a long running argument you'll never win
Somewhere in the distance you'll run into him
Meanwhile down on the wrist, the watch says ten
A man in a black hat stands up and says
Heaven doesn't pray for those impaled
On thew horns of your kind of dilemma
Your Holy Grail
Wherever you wander, wherever you roam
I'll be the bright white light
Shining above the door for you
Your home sweet home
Dappled sunlight on a parkbench in June
Heavy weight in my belly we'd better go soon
I can't linger, can't feel my toes
Wide as Ishmael's will, there she blows
It's always later than you think
Life shorter everyday
We got time for one more drink
And do you have the means to play?
What do you say?
Wherever you wander, wherever you roam
I'll be the bright white light
Shining above the door for you
Your home sweet home
