VERSE
Written by Dan Peek, ©1976
Found on Hideaway and Highway.
Alone, sitting here on my own
There's no place I'd rather be
Or so it seems
Home, miles away from home
And there's no place I'd rather be
Can't you see?
You hold your life in your hands
And no one takes from a man
Who gives the best that he can
To make someone understand
I've flown miles away from home
And there's no place I'd rather be
Can't you see?
You hold your life in your hands
And no one takes from a man
Who gives the best that he can
To make someone understand
Home, miles away from home
And there's no place I'd rather be
Can't you see, can't you see, can't you see?
Can't you see, can't you see, can't you see?
Can't you see, can't you see, can't you see?
