《Home Away From Home》歌词

[00:00:00] Home Away From Home - The Roches

[00:00:10] She was twenty six when she came to the burbs

[00:00:14] Where the family secrets stop at the curbs

[00:00:23] I was nine when she moved next door

[00:00:26] She had married a republican he was for the war

[00:00:37] He was mean he beat her up

[00:00:39] All the time preaching that republican stuff

[00:00:43] Hated blacks hated Jews

[00:00:47] Knelt down Sundays at our lady of the blues

[00:00:58] Over at my house things were sad

[00:01:01] Because my folks were always fighting that made me feel bad

[00:01:11] I went to her door with a cookie tin

[00:01:14] I said "I am your neighbor would you let me in "

[00:01:25] She was big having a baby

[00:01:28] She asked me are you hungry and I said maybe

[00:01:31] She gave me soup a piece of toast

[00:01:35] She gave me what I needed the most

[00:01:42] Yeah thank you for the love you gave me as a child

[00:01:50] There must have been so much pain

[00:01:53] That you never cried in my

[00:01:57] Home away from home

[00:02:21] Then one day we found a sick bird

[00:02:24] On the very same doorstep where I first met her

[00:02:34] Being a nurse well she took the bird in

[00:02:37] And we fed her with an eye dropper 'til the following spring

[00:02:45] When the time came to let the bird go

[00:02:51] This is what she said when I cried no

[00:02:54] If you keep her locked inside

[00:02:57] Honey she won't be able to fly

[00:03:04] Yeah thank you for the love you gave to me as a child

[00:03:12] There must have been so much pain

[00:03:16] That you never cried in my

[00:03:20] Home away from home

[00:03:30] Home away from home

[00:03:40] Home away from home
