Place

you never know til you go away
the things that you will miss
the magpies in the morning
the hills beneath the mist
and I could try to teach you
but you will never understand
because in your heart you'll always hear
the call of your homeland

and we can close our eyes, compromise
we can laugh it all away
surely love alone should be
enough to make you stay
but every time I see
the stranger in your eyes
I know you must return
to the place your heart resides

you never know til you go away
the things that you love best
the rivers and mountains
the sunsets in the west
and I could try to teach you
but you will never understand
because in your heart you'll always hear
the call of your homeland

and we can close our eyes, compromise
we can laugh it all away
surely love alone should be
enough to make you stay
but every time I see
the stranger in your eyes
I know you must return
to the place your heart resides

and we can close our eyes, compromise
we can laugh it all away
surely love alone should be
enough to make you stay
but every time I see
the stranger in your eyes
I know that you'll return
to the place your heart resides
