Homeless


from the ABC set Poetry/Lyrics

How long have I been homeless?

I don't know where my heart is.

It's not tied to a building or a residence,

I didn't leave it where my parents live.

How long have I been homeless?

I don't know where my heart is.

It's not following another's pulses,

I didn't leave it anywhere I've been.

I only hope it's warm and waiting for me,

As I pack up and move back to unfamiliar streets.

I only hope I recognize it's beats

And don't just keep walking.

Home... yes, what is it exactly, I knew it once, now I'm not so sure. I hope you find it.

Thanks, I don't think exists in the space between leaving your family and starting one of your own. But I'll keep looking.

I know where my home is - where ever my love is. Keep looking, mate, it will come to you too.

I found the love mate, it took me a while but I've got a stronghold on it now! I'm off the grid but no longer homeless. Cheers
