Lucy Kaplansky - You Just Need A Home lyrics

Written by Lucy Kaplansky

I like the way you play your songs

I like the way you sing

You look so good in colored lights

And the brilliant spotlight rings

And up there your eyes are fiery

And hotter by degree

But weary and so confused

When no one else can see

So you need to feel the fire

When you feel it start to go

To feel the heat of all those lights

Long after the show

And you need it so much now

You don't even know

All the world's a stage to you

Then where else can you go

You could come away with me tonight

I can make it all right

You don't need a spotlight

You just need a home

I want to drive away with you

Far from New York streets

And head on a highway

Where the sky and road still meet

And the sky out there is bright

And the moon's about to rise

It's all there waiting

If you look into my eyes

Cause here in the city

There isn't much to see

Here in this apartment

You can hardly breathe

And the only lights you see tonight

Are on the ceiling moving slow

Flashing signs and headlights

In an eerie neon glow

You could come away with me tonight

I can make it all right

You don't need a spotlight

You just need a home
