You Were the Place - Judie Tzuke

You were the place I had longed to be

You’d captured the sun for your company

Across the mountains you’d call for me

I was always so sure of your sympathy

But it’s the last time I can call you home

And on from this time I will stand alone

It’s the last time I can call you friend, my friend

Nightrunners watch from another shore

As they tear at your walls to make room for more

Of the men who took all that I loved you for

Put an end to the hideaway I once saw

But it’s the last time I can call you home

And on from this time I will stand alone

It’s the last time I can call you friend, my friend

But it’s the last time I can call you home

And on from this time I will stand alone

It’s the last time I can call you friend, my friend

Where is the heart I came miles to find?

With friends that you welcomed still in my mind

I hate to leave all that love behind

The years that pass can be so unkind

It’s the last time I can call you home

And on from this time I will stand alone

It’s the last time I can call you friend, my friend

It’s the last time I can call you home

And on from this time I will stand alone

It’s the last time I can call you friend, my friend
