Home Is Where the Heart Is - Peter, Paul and Mary

On our corner there’s this nice man

His name is Mark, he’s always smiling

He’s got this mom who comes on Wednesdays

In the evening with soup so steaming

He shares his house with his friend Martin

They’re not brothers, they’re not cousins

My little girl wonders all about these men

I take hold of her hand and I begin

Home is where the heart is

No matter how the heart lives

Inside your heart where love is

That’s where you’ve got to make yourself at home

Through the yard live Deb and Trisha

With their drills and ladders and their room addition

My kid yells over are you having a baby

They wink and smile and say someday maybe

Funny how they don’t let the daddies in

Don’t you let them in

My little girls wonders 'bout the house with no men

I take hold of her hand and I begin

Home is where the heart is

No matter how the heart lives

Inside your heart where love is

That’s where you’ve got to make yourself at home

'Round the corner here come Martin

He’s alone now, he tries smiling

He roams around his well stocked kitchen

He knows that fate will soon be coming

My little girl wonders where he will live

I take hold of her hand and I begin

Home is where the heart is

No matter how the heart lives

Inside your heart where love is

That’s where you’ve got to make yourself at home

Martin sits and waits with his window open

His house is empty, his heart is broken

We bring him toys and water colors

He loves to hear my little baby’s stories

She’s the gift I share, she’s his companion

She’s the string on the like, she guides him into the wind

My little girl wonders who will care for him

We take hold of his hand, we begin

Let’s begin now…

Home is where the heart is

No matter how the heart lives

Inside your heart where love is

That’s where you’ve got to make yourself at home
