Song Lyrics

"You Leave Me Homeless"

by Michael Roe
Album: Safe As Milk (Curdled Version)

You leave me homeless, outside a frame of time,
Outside the flame of family,
Community gone to ashes, stone and lime,
Yes, you leave me homeless,
No less than stray cats or women with bags,
The sleepless, penniless, toothless hags,
I'm free to roam, but there's no home.

Guess it's a matter of the heart,
We started long ago on shaky ground,
Foundations crumbled, left us unsafe and unsound,
Just bound to fall...and that's what ruined it all.

You leave me homeless,
I need a new place I can go, where there's a room to tell the truth in, and still feel safe and still feel whole,
A bed that I don't have to lie on,
A bath where I'll get truly clean,
Some food that satisfies my hunger,
Where walking out is the same as walking in.
