Home Away From Home - The Roches[00:00:00]

She was twenty six when she came to the burbs[00:00:10]

Where the family secrets stop at the curbs[00:00:14]

I was nine when she moved next door[00:00:23]

She had married a republican he was for the war[00:00:26]

He was mean he beat her up[00:00:37]

All the time preaching that republican stuff[00:00:39]

Hated blacks hated Jews[00:00:43]

Knelt down Sundays at our lady of the blues[00:00:47]

Over at my house things were sad[00:00:58]

Because my folks were always fighting that made me feel bad[00:01:01]

I went to her door with a cookie tin[00:01:11]

I said "I am your neighbor would you let me in "[00:01:14]

She was big having a baby[00:01:25]

She asked me are you hungry and I said maybe[00:01:28]

She gave me soup a piece of toast[00:01:31]

She gave me what I needed the most[00:01:35]

Yeah thank you for the love you gave me as a child[00:01:42]

There must have been so much pain[00:01:50]

That you never cried in my[00:01:53]

Home away from home[00:01:57]

Then one day we found a sick bird[00:02:21]

On the very same doorstep where I first met her[00:02:24]

Being a nurse well she took the bird in[00:02:34]

And we fed her with an eye dropper 'til the following spring[00:02:37]

When the time came to let the bird go[00:02:45]

This is what she said when I cried no[00:02:51]

If you keep her locked inside[00:02:54]

Honey she won't be able to fly[00:02:57]

Yeah thank you for the love you gave to me as a child[00:03:04]

There must have been so much pain[00:03:12]

That you never cried in my[00:03:16]

Home away from home[00:03:20]

Home away from home[00:03:30]

Home away from home[00:03:40]
