lyrics

I had no time to play today, and now I am too tired
If I had a home to go to I'd have been in bed by nine
I'd run towards the kitchen, having sung all day for coins
I'd cook a hefty meal for two and we'd clear away your toys

If I had a home to go to I would fill a room with flowers
I'd tell them all my tales, I'd lock the door and stay for hours
I'd have a big bay window looking out over the sea
I'd watch the world, but all the world would no longer watch me

I had no time to breathe today, sometimes I just forget
My girl will cut me loose and make a woman of me yet
She'll take the ribbon from my hair and tie it around my feet
If I had a home to go to I would leave her out to weep
