Lyrics You Were the Place - Judie Tzuke

You Were the Place

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
