A House Is Not a Home - Luther Vandross

I have seen many shores I hug the land but nothing more Because I haven't met you I've wined and I've dined With every bogus music mogul No sign of you I've brushed and I've rubbed Pressing palms exuding charms But never in arms And that's why home is a question mark Home is some place I dunno Home is a question mark Home is some place I dunno I have been brave Deep in every shaven cave None were you Another film on replay This time, "Hell" with Guillaume Canet For wingless me And that's why home is a question mark Home is some place I dunno Home is a question mark Home is some place I dunno Home, is it just a word? Or is it something you carry within you? I'm happy just to be here If I ever find home If I ever find home If I ever find home If I get there, would you meet me? Wrap your legs around my face just to greet me If I ever get there, would you meet me? Wrap your legs around my face just to greet me If I ever get there, do you really think I will? Do you really think I will? Do you really think I will? How many times I've saved myself

This house is a circus, berserk as fuck We tend to see that as a perk though. Look What it's done to your friends their memories are pretend And the last thing that they want is for the feeling to end This house is a circus, berserk as fuck We tend to see that as a perk though. Look What it's done to your friends their memories are pretend And the last thing that they want is for the feeling to end There's a, Room full of trouble and there's lovers to be had Those ones who make sinners out of such lovely lads Scaling the corridors for maidens in the maze And the anomaly is slipping to familiar ways And we're forever unfulfilled Can't think why Like a search for murder clues In dead man's eyes Forever unfulfilled And can't think why Like a search for murder clues In dead man's eyes The more you open your mouth The more you're forcing performance And all the attention is leading me to feel important (completely obnoxious) Now that we're here, we may as well go too far Wriggling around and it's so that you won't forget There's certainly some venom in the looks that you collect Aimlessly gazing at the faces in the queue Struggling with the notion that it's life not film This house is a circus, berserk as fuck We tend to see that as a perk though. Look What it's done to your friends their memories are pretend And the last thing that they want is for the feeling to end This house is a circus, berserk as fuck We tend to see that as a perk though. Look What it's done to your friends their memories are pretend And the last thing that they want is for the feeling to end

These four walls have got a story to tell (Oh-oh, oh-oh) The door is off the hinges, there's no wishing them well (Oh-oh, oh-oh) Outside the sky is coal black, the streets are on fire The picture windows cracked, and there's no where to run I know, I know, this house is not for sale I set each stone and I hammered each nail This house is not for sale Where memories live and the dreams don't fail This house is not for sale Coming home, I'm coming home Drove a spike into the ground and I staked my claim (Oh-oh, oh-oh) Standing on the dirt where they'll dig my grave (Oh-oh, oh-oh) Now what built these walls is in my veins No time for lookin' back, the wolf is at the door This heart, this soul, this house is not for sale I set each stone and I hammered each nail This house is not for sale Where memories live and the dream don't fail This house is not for sale Coming home, I'm coming home This house was built on trust That's what it is, it always was No wrecking ball could knock it down This house was built on higher ground I set each stone and I hammered each nail This house is not for sale Where memories live and the dream don't fail This house is not for sale Coming home, I'm coming home Coming home, I'm coming home (This house is not for sale) Coming home, I'm coming home (I'm) coming home, I'm coming home (This house is not, is not for sale)

Not a dry eye in the house After love's curtain comes down Listen and you'll hear the sound, hear the sound of a heart breaking I can still see you standin' there Midnight wind blowin' through your hair Remember, kisses sweet in the salty air, when love was forever Turn the page and we fade to blue The scene has changed now I'm without you Well, you just walked away when the act was through And the dream was over It was almost like a movie, the way you said goodbye You must have spent a lot of time rehearsing each and every line Now there's not a dry eye in the house After love's curtain comes down Listen and you'll hear the sound, hear the sound of a heart breaking Breaking Not a smile left on my face The ending's just too sad to take And there's not a dry eye, not a dry eye in the house The greatest story was you and me We had it all, we had everything But now the story's done, it's just history, the last act is over Your every line had the sweetest sound Your every touch turned my world around But then the light came up and my world crashed down End of show, it's over It was almost like a movie, those nights we touched the stars Time stood still for you and I Now it's sad enough to make you cry And there's not a dry eye in the house After love's curtain comes down Listen and you'll hear the sound, hear the sound of a heart breaking Breaking Not a smile left on my face The ending's just too sad to take And there's not a dry eye, not a dry eye in the house Act One: The story's just begun Act Two: I fell in love with you Act Three: Knew it was meant to be Act Four: You don't love me no more Not a dry eye in the house After love's curtain comes down Listen and you'll hear the sound, hear the sound of a heart breaking Breaking Not a smile left on my face, the ending's just too sad to take And there's not a dry eye, not a dry eye Not a dry eye in the house After love's curtain comes down Listen and you'll hear the sound, hear the sound of a heart breaking Breaking Breaking Not a dry eye in the house Not a dry eye in the house Not a dry eye in the house
